Probability Concepts and Composite Numbers

The video tutorial covers probability trees, explaining how to map out different outcomes and calculate probabilities. It introduces composite numbers, providing examples and discussing their role in probability calculations. The tutorial explores multi-stage events, demonstrating how to calculate probabilities for these events using fractions. It emphasizes the importance of creating a sample space to ensure all possible outcomes are considered. The video concludes with a discussion on calculating probabilities for different events, highlighting the independence of events and the use of mathematical intuition.

What is the purpose of a probability tree?

• To list all possible events in a sequence

• To calculate the exact outcome of an event

• To determine the speed of an event

• To map out the chance of different outcomes

Which of the following is a composite number?

• 2

• 5

• 3

• 4

How many composite numbers are there on a standard die?

• Three

• Two

• Four

• One

What is the probability of rolling a composite number on a die?

• 1/2

• 1/3

• 1/6

• 2/3

How can you calculate the probability of not rolling a composite number?

• By dividing probabilities

• By subtracting from one

• By multiplying probabilities

• By adding probabilities

What is a multi-stage event in probability?

• An event with multiple outcomes

• An event with a single outcome

• An event with two or more stages

• An event with no outcome

In a multi-stage event, what remains constant across stages?

• The number of outcomes

• The probability of each outcome

• The type of event

• The sample space

What does it mean for events to be independent?

• The outcome of one event affects the other

• The events have the same probability

• The events are unrelated and do not affect each other

• The events occur simultaneously

How does a probability tree help in creating a sample space?

• By predicting future outcomes

• By ensuring no outcomes are missed

• By calculating the probability of each outcome

• By listing all possible outcomes

What is the probability of rolling two composite numbers in a row?

• 1/4

• 1/9

• 1/3

• 1/6
