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 most frequently-rolled number with two dice?

two=1way

three=2ways

four=3ways

five=4ways

six=5 ways

seven=6 ways

eight=5ways

nine=4ways

ten=3 ways

eleven= 2 ways

twelve=1 way.

Seven has the most ways, so seven is the most commonly rolled number.

What is the probability of rolling a sum less than 9 with two dice?

There are twenty six ways out of thirty six possible rolls of two dice to hit a number less than nine OR a seventy two percent probability.

What is the chance of drawing a red heart from a standard deck of cards?

13/52 (if you're not playing with the two jokers. If you are then it would be 13/54)

The possible way to get sum of 18 if you roll a die 4 times?

(1, 5, 6, 6), (2, 4, 6, 6), (2, 5, 5, 6), (3, 3, 6, 6), (3, 4, 5, 6), (3, 5, 5, 5), (4, 4, 4, 6), (4, 4, 5, 5).

How many ways can a coin come up heads seven times and tails once when tossed eight times?

If you toss a coin 8 times and there are 7 heads, then there must be one tail each time.

So how many ways can we get one tail?

It can occur first, such as THHHHHHH or second HTHHHHHH etc.

There are 8 places to put the T so there are 8 ways to have 7 heads and 1 tail.

What is an expected outcome in probability?

The expected outcome is the sum of (each possible occurrence times the probability of that occurrence).

For example, the expected outcome of rolling one die is:

1 * 1/6 + 2 * 1/6 + 3 * 1/6 + 4 * 1/6 + 5 * 1/6 + 6 * 1/6 = 3.5.

What is the probability of flipping a coin 3 times and getting 3 heads?

The probability of flipping a coin 3 times and getting 3 heads is 1/2

What does it mean normal distribution?

The Normal distribution is a probability distribution of the exponential family. It is a symmetric distribution which is defined by just two parameters: its mean and variance (or standard deviation. It is one of the most commonly occurring distributions for continuous variables. Also, under suitable conditions, other distributions can be approximated by the Normal. Unfortunately, these approximations are often used even if the required conditions are not met!

What does it mean when data is normally distributed?

It means that the data are distributed according to a probability distribution function known as the normal distribution. This site is useless for showing most mathematical functions but you can Google "normal distribution" to get more details.

What is the outcomes of group therapy?

There are no sure and positive outcomes. Group therapy will help some people and fail with others.

What does it mean to have a probability of 0.05?

It means that there is a probability or chance of 0.05 or 1 in 20 of observing the relevant event.

Is probability always true?

There is a chance that it might be.

Which set of events is an example of dependent events?

A dependent event is one that relies on something else to happen.

For instance with a mouse trap the trap closing "depends" on the trigger being activated.

What are the odds of dying before 59?

There are very many factors that affect the odds and it would be pointless giving a general figure. The relevant factors include your:

  • gender,
  • genes - longevity or otherwise in the family, susceptibility to certain diseases,
  • current age,
  • health so far, fitness,
  • country that you live in,
  • socio-economic class.
