HW Probability Introduction

Front

What is Experimental Probability?

Back

Experimental Probability is the probability determined by conducting experiments or trials and recording the outcomes. It is calculated as the number of successful outcomes divided by the total number of trials.

Front

What is Theoretical Probability?

Back

Theoretical Probability is the probability calculated based on the possible outcomes in a perfect world, without conducting any experiments. It is determined by the formula: P(Event) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes.

What is the sample space for a standard six-sided die?

Back

The sample space for a standard six-sided die is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.

Front

What is the probability of drawing an Ace from a standard deck of cards?

Back

The probability of drawing an Ace from a standard deck of cards is 1/13.

Front

What is the probability of rolling a sum greater than 9 with two dice?

Back

The probability of rolling a sum greater than 9 with two dice is 1/6.

Front

How do you calculate the probability of an event?

Back

The probability of an event is calculated using the formula: P(Event) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes.

Front

What is the probability of getting all answers correct on a 3-question true/false quiz by guessing?

Back

The probability of getting all answers correct on a 3-question true/false quiz by guessing is 1/8.

Front

What is a favorable outcome in probability?

Back

A favorable outcome is an outcome that satisfies the conditions of the event for which the probability is being calculated.

Front

What does it mean if an event is independent in probability?

Back

An event is independent if the occurrence of one event does not affect the occurrence of another event.

Front

What is the difference between independent and dependent events?

Back

Independent events do not affect each other's outcomes, while dependent events do; the outcome of one event influences the outcome of another.
