Front

What is a sample space in probability?

Back

The sample space is the set of all possible outcomes of a probability experiment.

Front

How do you represent a sample space for flipping two coins?

Back

The sample space is represented as {HH, HT, TH, TT}.

Front

What is the probability of drawing a lemon from a bag containing 30 pieces of candy with 3 lemons?

Back

The probability is 1/10.

Front

How do you calculate the total number of outcomes in a probability experiment?

Back

Multiply the number of choices for each event. For example, if there are 3 types of bread and 5 types of sandwiches, the total outcomes are 3 x 5 = 15.

Front

What is the probability of spinning and landing on green if there are 4 equal sections?

Back

Front

Define the term 'event' in probability.

Back

An event is a specific outcome or a set of outcomes from a sample space.

Front

What is the difference between independent and dependent events?

Back

Independent events do not affect each other's outcomes, while dependent events do.

Front

How do you find the probability of an event occurring?

Back

Probability is calculated as the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes.

Front

What is a Venn Diagram used for in probability?

Back

A Venn Diagram visually represents the relationships between different sets and their probabilities.

Front

If a die is rolled, what is the sample space?

Back

The sample space is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.
