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.

How do you calculate two standard deviations of the mean?

See the related links on how to calculate standard deviation. If there are more than a dozen data points, it is tedious to calculate by hand. Use excel or an online calculator. To get 2 standard deviations, multiply the calculated std deviation by 2.

What is the probability of getting a number less than 3 in two tosses of a single die?

In single die,

S = {1,2,3,4,5,6} So n(S) = 6

The event A is defined as getting a number less than 3.

A = {1,2} So n(A)=2

Hence P(A) = n(A)/n(S) = 2/6 =1/3

What is the standard deviation for 3 5 12 3 2?

From the online calculator, see related link, the standard deviation is 4.06202.

How many different ways can ten books be arranged on a shelf?

Using the binomial coefficient and the 'choose' function, 10 books can be arranged 10! = 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 3628800 different ways.

Using mean of 6.375 and Standard deviation of 1.47 plot values on normal distribution?

Your middle point or line for the plot (mean) would be 6.375. Then you would add/subtract 1.47 from your mean. For example, one standard deviation would equal

6.375 + 1.47 and one standard deviation from the left would be

6.375 - 1.47

What are the Three Approaches to finding a Probability?

1. subjective probability (intelligent guess)

2. relative frequency (in percent)

3. classical probability (in decimal)

What is 12 over 25 in simplest form?

12 over 25 in simplest form is 12 over 25.

The prime factors of 12 are 2, 2, and 3. The prime factors of 25 are 5 and 5. There is no intersection, so the fraction cannot be further reduced.

If you wanted it in decimal, 12 over 25 is 0.48.

What is the probability of getting two tails and one heads if a coin is tossed three times?

Out of the 8 possible combinations, three are favorable: HTT, THT, TTH. Therefore, the answer is 3/8.

When a researcher has two samples with two means one of the assumptions for two samples is independence of between the two samples What does this mean What happens if the independence assumption is?

Independence of the two samples means that the choosing of the first sample did not influence the choosing of the other sample, and vice versa.

For example, if you were comparing running speed in two different brands of running shoes, you could look at two samples of people running a 100 m dash -- one sample of people running in Brand A and one sample of people running in Brand B. If those two groups were picked independently of one another, these samples would be independent. If, instead, you had the same group of people run the race twice (once in each brand of shoe), these samples would be dependent.

Samples that are not independent are said to be "correlated", "interdependent", or "dependent". Because the two samples are correlated, you might get incorrect findings for your statistical study. For example, say you want to compare the heights of boys and girls. If you chose the samples by choosing a girl for the girl sample, then choosing her brother for the boy sample, your statistical analyses might be misleading if you didn't account for the fact that tall girls are more likely to have tall brothers, and short girls are more likely to have short brothers. By choosing siblings for the two groups, you have made the two samples not independent of one another.

If the independence assumption is violated, you have to do a special type of statistical test. For example, instead of doing a two-sample t-test, you would have to do a paired t-test.

The bag of marbles contains 20 red marbles 30 white marbles and 40 blue marbles what is the ratio of red to blue marbles?

If there are 20 red marbles and 40 blue marbles, the ratio of red to blue is 1 over 2. The number of white marbles does not matter.

Chances of rolling an 11 on a pair of dice?

Total different rolls are 36 (6x6)

Ways to roll an 11 is 2 (5/6 and 6/5)

Probability = number_of_rolls_of_success/total_number_of_rolls

= 2/36

= 1/18

The odds of not selecting a queen of hearts is 51 in 52.
