What is the probability of rolling a 6 on a fair six-sided die?
1/3
1/5
1/6

If two events are independent, how does the probability of both events occurring compare to the product of their individual probabilities?
The probability of both events occurring is greater than the product of their individual probabilities.
The probability of both events occurring is less than the product of their individual probabilities.
The probability of both events occurring is equal to the product of their individual probabilities.
The probability of both events occurring is unrelated to the product of their individual probabilities.
If the probability of event A is 0.4 and the probability of event B is 0.3, what is the probability of both events occurring if they are independent?

Explain the concept of conditional probability and provide an example.
Estimating the chances of winning the lottery based on the day of the week
Determining the likelihood of flipping a coin and rolling a dice simultaneously
Calculating the probability of drawing a red card from a deck of cards without any conditions
An example of conditional probability is finding the probability of drawing a red card from a deck of cards given that a black card has already been drawn. If there are 26 red cards and 26 black cards in the deck, the probability would be P(Red|Black) = 26/52 = 0.5.

Explain the difference between discrete and continuous probability distributions.
Discrete probability distributions are for countable outcomes with gaps, while continuous probability distributions are for outcomes within a range.
Discrete probability distributions are for outcomes within a range, while continuous probability distributions are for countable outcomes with gaps.
Discrete probability distributions are for continuous outcomes with gaps, while continuous probability distributions are for outcomes within a range.
Discrete probability distributions are for continuous outcomes, while continuous probability distributions are for discrete outcomes.
