What is the probability of flipping no heads when you flip three identical coins?
The probability of flipping one coin and getting tails is 1/2. In order to find the probability of multiple events occurring, you find the product of all the events. For 3 coins the probability of getting tails 3 times is 1/8 because .5 x .5 x .5 = .125 or 1/8.
How do you find the probability of disjoint events?
Multiply the possible outcomes of the events in the disjoint events
How do you find the probability of two distincve events?
It depends on whether or not the events are independent.
How don you find the answers to simple independent events?
you find the probability
What is the probability of the multiple of three?
Things and numbers don't have probabilities. Situations and events that can happen have probabilities.
What must you do to determine the probability of multiple independent events happening a certain way?
Divide the number of events that can happen a certain way by the number of all possible events.
When two dice are rolled find the probability that the sum is a multiple of 3 or greater than 4?
The probability is 35/36.
If the probability of two events occurring together is 0 the events are called .?
Independent events with a probability of zero
What is events that have the same probability?
They are "events that have the same probability". Nothing more, nothing less.
How can you find the probability of two mutually exclusive events?
The calculation is equal to the sum of their probabilities less the probability of both events occuring. If two events are mutually exclusive then the combined probability that one or the other will occur is simply the sum of their respective probabilities, because the chance of both occurring is by definition zero.
If two events are independent the probability that both occur is?
That probability is the product of the probabilities of the two individual events; for example, if event A has a probability of 50% and event B has a probability of 10%, the probability that both events will happen is 50% x 10% = 5%.
How often is the probability of the complement of an event less than the probability of the event itself?
It depends on the events. The answer is 0.5*(Total number of events - number of events with probability = 0.5) That is, discount all events such that their probability (and that of their complement) is exactly a half. Then half the remaining events will have probabilities that are greater than their complement's.
