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 4 or an even number on a number cube?

That depends on how many sides the cube has but if it was a 6 sided cube then the probability of getting a four is 1 to 6 and even is 3 to 6.

Since 4 is even, then the result set of 4 intersect with the result set of even, so the probability of rolling a 4 or an even number is 1 in 2, or 0.5.

When a single card is drawn from a standard 52 card deck find the probability that the card is a club or a seven?

There are 13 clubs (including the seven of clubs), and 3 other sevens (from the other suits). So that makes 16 cards that are clubs or sevens. Thus, the probability of drawing a club or a seven from a standard 52 card deck is 16/52 = 4/13 (about 31%).

A man takes a step forward with probability 0.4 and backwards with probability 0.6 Find the probability that at the end of eleven steps he is just one step away from the starting point?

1. He takes 6 steps forward and 5 steps backward

2. He takes 5 steps forward and 6 steps backward

consider 1:

p1 = (11C6)(0.4)^6*(0.6)^5

for 2:

p2 = 11C5(0.4)^5*(0.6)^6

total probability = p1 + p2

What are the deck odds for a pack of playing cards?

What is probability of getting head or tail when tossing a coin?

What occurred in 472 bc?

Ancient Olympic Games were extended from a one day festival with a few events to a five day event with wrestling, boxing, horse racing, jumping, javelin, and chariot racing.

A fair die is rolled 4 times in succession what is the probability that even numbers are rolled all 4?

You want: P(even) * P(even) * P(even) * P(even). P(even) = 3/6 or 1/2. Therefore probability even on 4 rolls is: 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/16 = 0.0625.

A die is rolled 5 times what is the probability of rolling exactly one 2?

Possible outcomes of rolling a die 5 times = 6^5

Number of outcomes including rolling exactly one 2: 5^5 (5*5^4)

5^5/6^5 = 3125/7776 ~= 0.4019

What does it mean if a number has a probability of 1?

If a number has a probability of 1 it means it is certain to occur.
