What is theoretical probability?

Back

Theoretical probability is the likelihood of an event happening based on all possible outcomes. It is calculated as the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes.

Front

How do you calculate the theoretical probability of choosing a cherry piece of candy from a bag containing 8 grape, 5 cherry, 4 orange, and 3 lemon pieces?

Back

The total number of candies is 8 + 5 + 4 + 3 = 20. The probability of choosing a cherry piece is 5 (cherry pieces) / 20 (total pieces) = 1/4.

Front

How do you order numbers from greatest to least?

Back

To order numbers from greatest to least, compare each number and arrange them starting from the highest value down to the lowest.

Front

What is the order of the temperatures -3, 8, 0, -15, and -8 from greatest to least?

Back

The order is 8, 0, -3, -8, -15.

Front

How do you solve for x in the equation x - 8 = 30?

Back

To solve for x, add 8 to both sides of the equation: x = 30 + 8, so x = 38.

Front

What is the mean of a set of numbers?

Back

The mean is the average of a set of numbers, calculated by adding all the numbers together and dividing by the total count of numbers.

Front

What is the mean of the data set 33, 42, 51, 64, 75?

Back

The mean is (33 + 42 + 51 + 64 + 75) / 5 = 53.
