What is the difference between qualitative and quantitative data?

Back

Qualitative data describes characteristics or qualities (e.g., colors, names), while quantitative data involves numbers and measurable values (e.g., height, weight).

If Amir is twice as likely to choose a $10 bill than a $5 bill, what does this imply about his choices?

Back

This implies that for every time Amir chooses a $5 bill, he is expected to choose a $10 bill two times.

How do you calculate the expected number of outcomes in a larger group based on a smaller sample?

Back

To calculate the expected number, use the ratio from the sample and apply it to the larger group size.

What is a spinner in probability?

Back

A spinner is a tool used in probability experiments that can land on different sections, each representing a possible outcome.

Front

What does it mean for an event to be 'unlikely'?

Back

An unlikely event has a low probability of occurring, but it is still possible.

Front

How can you determine which statement about probability is incorrect?

Back

To determine if a statement is incorrect, analyze the probabilities and compare them to known principles of probability.
