Probability Experiment Quiz

What does the term 'outcome' refer to in a probability experiment?

• The set of all possible outcomes of a probability experiment.

• An action, or trial, through which specific results are obtained.

• The result of a single trial in a probability experiment.

• Consists of one or more outcomes and is a subset of the sample space.

What is the sample space in a probability experiment?

• The result of a single trial in a probability experiment.

• An action, or trial, through which specific results are obtained.

• Consists of one or more outcomes and is a subset of the sample space.

• The set of all possible outcomes of a probability experiment.

What is an event in the context of probability?

• The result of a single trial in a probability experiment.

• An action, or trial, through which specific results are obtained.

• The set of all possible outcomes of a probability experiment.

• Consists of one or more outcomes and is a subset of the sample space.

What is a simple event in probability?

• An event that cannot be further broken down into simpler events

• An event that consists of multiple outcomes

• An event that is the most complex in a probability space

• An event that is impossible to occur

According to the Fundamental Counting Principle, if one event can occur in m ways and a second event can occur in n ways, how many ways can the two events occur in sequence?

• m + n

• m / n

• m • n

• m - n

What is the formula for classical (theoretical) probability?

• P(E) = Number of outcomes in event E / Total number of events

• P(E) = Number of outcomes in sample space / Number of outcomes in event E

• P(E) = Number of outcomes in event E / Number of outcomes in sample space

• P(E) = Total number of events / Number of outcomes in event E

In classical (theoretical) probability, what is assumed about the outcomes in a sample space?

• Each outcome is based on previous outcomes.

• Each outcome is more likely than the others.

• Each outcome in a sample space is equally likely.

• Each outcome can only occur once.

• Mathematical proofs

What does the Law of Large Numbers state about the empirical probability of an event as an experiment is repeated?

• The empirical probability of an event decreases.

• The empirical probability of an event remains constant.

• The empirical probability of an event approaches the theoretical probability of the event.

• The empirical probability of an event becomes unpredictable.
