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.

In a multiple choice question the correct answer will be found?

... most easily if you have some knowledge of the subject,

for example by having studied it.

In a multiple choice test what is the probability of getting 4 correct answers?

That's really going to be heavily dependent on whether or not you know something about

the subject material, and also on the total number of questions on the test.

It has even been known to happen from time to time that there are people who will score

100% on one of those, i.e. all correct answers.

Since that happens at a rate that far exceeds random probability, many educators and

administrators have begun to suspect that some of these test-takers may actually be

going so far as to study the material in advance! But the allegation hasn't been proven.

A bag contains 10 black marbles and 10 white marbles Five marbles are drawn and then not replaced each time What is the probability of drawing five white marbles in a row?

First white = 10/20

second white = 9/19

third white = 8/18

fourth white = 7/17

firth white = 6/16

Total probability = 10/20 x 9/19 x 8/18 x 7/17 x 6/16

= 21/1292

~= 0.0163

29 64 74 83 84 86 98 find the mean absolute deviation?

The mean absolute deviation is the sum of the differences between data values and the mean, divided by the count. In this case it is 15.7143

Normal curve is the meaning of standard normal distribution?

No, the normal curve is not the meaning of the Normal distribution: it is one way of representing it.

What is the probability of having 6 boys and three girls?

The question cannot be answered properly because the children's genders are not independent events. They depend on the parents' ages and their genes. Furthermore, it is often wrongly assumed that the probability of a boy is 50%. That is simply not true: the latest information shows that the probability of a boy is 52%.

However, if you choose to ignore reality then the solution, based on the Binomial(9, 1/2) distribution, is that the probability is 0.1641, approximately.

Can the probability of an outcome be more than 1?

No, the probability of an outcome can't be more than 1.

What is the probability of getting curly hair?

The probability of getting curly hair depends on whether your parents do or not. Hair genes are decided by the mother. So, if the mother has curly hair, more than likely the offspring will as well. If the father has curly hair and the mother does not, the probability is considerably lowered.

How many distinguishable permutation in Cincinnati?

If the first and second C are indistinguishable, then there are 554,400 permutations. If one is upper case and the other is lower case, then there are twice as many.

What is the probability of a penny landing on heads?

Simple question, difficult answer. It depends on how many times you want the penny to land on heads. The probability of a penny landing on heads once is 1 in 2. For it to land on heads twice is 1 in 4, for three times it is 1 in 8, and so on and so forth.

If the ratio of red to blue marbles in a bag of 600 marbles was 7 to 5 how many marbles were blue?

250

Here's how:

1. Add the ratio: 7 + 5 = 12

2. Divide the total no. of marbles (600) by 12 = 50

3. The total no. of reds = 7 x 50 = 350

4. The total no. of blues = 5 x 50 = 250

(Total blues & reds = 350 + 250 = 600)

How do you determend probibility?

You can either determine the probability through fractions. ( i.e: a coin has only two sides, if flipped it will be either heads or tails; the outcome will be 1/2 to happen: so equal chance of either. )

However, you can also determine it by how likely something is to happen, e.g: if it is winter it is likely it will rain, yet in summer it is unlikely to rain.

What is the probability of spinning two coins and getting two heads?

Possible outcomes are HH, HT, TH, TT; therefore the probability of HH is 1/4 or 0.25.

The distribution of sample means consists of?

A set of probabilities over the sampling distribution of the mean.

When tossing 3 coins simultaneously find the probability that at least 1 head is showing?

No matter how many coins are thrown, the possibility of having AT LEAST ONE 'head' is 50%. This changes if you specify the number of 'heads' that must be shown.

You roll a die What is the probability that you roll either a 5 or a 6?

In a typical die, there are six sides, so you know that there are six different possible outcomes when you roll it. In this problem, it asks for the probability of either 5 or 6 showing up. To find this simply add 1/6 to 1/6 or multiply 1/6 by 2. Either method will give you the answer of 2/6 which can be simplified to 1/3.

In a standard deck of cards of 52 cards what is the probability of drawing a heart or diamond?

1/2 or .50. Of the 52 cards, 26 are either a heart or a diamond (there are 13 hearts, 13 diamonds, 13 clubs and 13 spades).

Whats the probability that one would win the lottery if you choose 6 numbers from 56 numbers?

The probability of winning a straight lottery of 6 numbers picked from 56 is 1 in 32,468,436.

The number of combinations of n things taken m at a time is (n!-m!)/m! so this is 56 * 55 * 54 * 53 * 52 * 51 / 6 / 5 / 4 / 3 / 2 / 1 = 32,468,436.

When you get a hard on is your foreskin ment to stay over the head of your penis?

That will depend on how much foreskin you have. My foreskin used to retract upon erection until I did some foreskin stretching. Now, at this point, the foreskin remains over the glans, with just the meatus showing. I plan on stretching more to achieve total coverage in all states of erection. See the sites available on the web regarding foreskin restoration. Although I am intact, I still chose to lengthen the foreskin to achieve the coverage when erect.

What is the probability of rolling a dice?

If you pick it up, there is a 99% chance that you will roll the dice upon dropping it, and a 1% chance of it landing on one face and sitting there, not rolling.
