Probability

The probability of a certain event is a number expressing the likelihood that a specific event will occur, expressed as the ratio of the number of actual occurrences to the number of possible occurrences. In mathematics, it is a measure of how often an event will happen and is the basis of statistics.

What is the probability of rolling a six sided die 20 times and getting a 5?

Suppose A is the event {rolling a 6-sided die 20 times and getting a 5}

Then A', the complement of A, is the event {rolling a 6-sided die 20 times and not getting a 5 any times}

So Pr(A) = 1 - Pr(A') = 1 - (5/6)20 = 1 - 0.026084 = 0.973916 (to 6 dp)

What is the probability of pulling 7 spades in a row from a deck of 52 cards?

The answer is 8,648,640 in 674,274,182,400 or approximately 0.128%.

To pull seven spades in a row from a deck of 52 cards may be translated as follows:

In a deck of 52 cards there are 13 spades, so 13 chances to pull a spade or 13/52.

After pulling one spade, there are 12 spades left and 51 cards left, so 12 chances to pull a spade or 12 / 51.

After pulling the second spade, there are 11 spades left and 50 cards left, so 11 chances to pull a spade or 11 / 50.

Continuing the above logic to the natural conclusion, we get the following multipliers:

13 / 52 * 12 / 51 * 11 / 50 * 10 / 49 * 9 / 48 * 8 / 47 * 7 / 46

which is equal to 8,648,640 / 674,274,182,400 or approximately 0.128%.

Suppose you roll two number cubes once Use the counting principle to find the probability of rolling a 4 on both cubes?

The probability of rolling 4 and 4 on a single roll of two dice is 1 in 36. You don't have to count. The probability of rolling 4 on one die is 1 in 6. The probability of rolling two 4's is (1 in 6) squared or 1 in 36. If you insist on counting, go ahead, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, 23, 24, etc. You will find 36 combinations, with only one 44 in them, hence 1 in 36.

Construct an 80 percent confidence interval for the true population mean given that the standard deviation of the population is 6 and the sample mean is 18?

THe answer will depend on whether the confidence interval is central or one-sided. If central, then

-1.28 < z < 1.28

-1.28 < (m - 18)/6 < 1.28

-7.68 < m - 18 < 7.68

10.3 < m < 25.7

What is the probability to have 2 girls and a boy in a family?

The 8 possible outcomes for three children are:

* ggg

* ggb

* gbg

* gbb

* bgg

* bgb

* bbg

* bbb

Of these, two girls and a boy occurs 3 out of 8 times, which is a probability of 0.375. This assumes that the probability of a boy and girl being in the family is equal, which is not entirely true for a large number of reasons.

How many cards must chosen from a deck of 52 cards to guarantee that at least two of the four aces and at least two of the 13 kinds are chosen?

Since 48 cards of a 52-card deck are not aces, you are guaranteed to have at least two aces only if you have at least 50 cards.

Since there are four suits for each rank, you are guaranteed to have at least two ranks whenever you have at least five cards.

Everything about the m-1 garand?

Scott Duff has a book that is very good.

Everything is a lot to ask for on the computer, so I suggest you follow the above advice and read the book, but here are a few highlights. Like most inventors, John Garand was somewhat eccentric. The Garand rifle was originally chambered for the .276 Pederson cartridge, but Doug MacArthur was Chief of Ordinance in the 30's and he decreed (wisely in my opinion) that all US rifle-caliber weapons be 30-06, reducing the M-1 Garand's capacity from ten to eight rounds. The M1903 sling was also compatible with the Garand, and the US ammo pouch accepted the 8-round Garand clips as easily as the 5-round M1903 clips. The M-1 Garand was adopted by the US Army in 1936 but produced in small numbers. In 1941 the Garand rifle beat the Johnson rifle and the M1903 as the USMC rifle. After the US entered the war, production could not keep up with demand, and an M-1 Garand was not in the hands of every American rifleman until 1943-44, although the M1903 continued for sniping and grenade-launching. The Germans had a semi-automatic rifle called the Gewehr 43 which was a good semi-automatic weapon, but simply was not as reliable and robust as the M1 (due to being made of crude parts and machining from mass supply shortages) nor was it as easly to produce or mantain in the field as the Garand rifle, so it was used mostly as a sniping rifle instead of a battle rifle, even then, it was very rare to encounter since it was never mass produced. The M-1 rifle fought again in Korea with the US and other armies, and it was replaced by the the M-14 in 1956. The US M-14 and the Italian BM59 are near-copies of the M-1 Garand in operation, but firing the smaller .308 Winchester cartridge.

How do you find the variance of a set of numbers?

1. Find the arithmetic mean (average)

2. Find the distance of each number from the mean (x-the mean=?)

3. Square each number

4. Add up all of the squares

5. Divide the final sum by the original mean

EX: Set: 1, 3, 4, 5, 7

1. 1 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 7 = 20 / 5 = 4

2. 1-4=-3 3-4=-1 4-4=0 5-4=17-4=3

3. 3*3=9 1*1=1 0*0=0 1*1=13*3=9

4. 9 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 9 = 20

5. 20 / 4 = 5

Can -0.2 express a probability?

No, we can't expression any negative value as a probability. A probability ranges from 0 to 1 - 0 being the lowest and 1 being the highest.
