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 spinning a number greater than 5 on a spinner numbered 1 to 8?
If it is a fair spinner, then 3/8
What is aceptable drawing accuracy standard?
The answer depends on the purpose. For example, the accuracy required from an engineering drawing is much greater than a child's drawing of his house.
How do the principels of probability explain the results of Mendel's genetic corsses?
this is not fair you say ask anything and when i do you only can answer half of my questions
What is the probability of pulling a king of hearts out of a deck?
The probability of pulling a king of hearts in one random selection from a well shuffled normal deck of cards is 1/52.
How many 2 of spades out of a deck of 52 cards?
There is just one such card in a normal deck of cards.
What is the probability of flipping a coin 7 times?
The probability is 1. I have flipped a coin a lot more than 7 times.
We can simplify the question by putting it this way: what is the probability that exactly one out of two coin flips is a head? Our options are HH, HT, TH, TT. Two of these four have exactly one head. So 2/4=.5 is the answer.
What is the probability of not drawing a spade from a standard deck of playing cards?
The answer depends on how many cards are drawn. If you draw 40 cards, the probability is 0.
The probability of not drawing a spade in a random draw of one card from a standard deck is 39/52 = 3/4.
What is the probability of a month of august having 5 mondays?
The simplistic answer is that August will have five Mondays if the month starts on a Saturday, Sunday or Monday. Three days out of the seven so the probability is 3/7 = 0.4286. However, that assumes that any day of the week is equally likely and that is not the case. The impact of leap years and their 2800-year cycle is to increase the probability to 0.43
Can the sum of 2 probabilities be greater than 1?
Yes but it is not possible to attach any interpretation to that. The addition of probabilities makes sense only if they are mutually exclusive outcomes of the same trial. If they are, then their sum cannot be greater than 1.
What is the probability of rolling 2 sixes in a row with a single die?
It is a certainty. If the die is rolled often enough, the probability that two consecutive rolls show a six is 1.
How did the normal distribution get its name?
As a result, many of the measurable variables that we come across have a Gaussian distribution and consequently, it is also called the normal distribution.

That's the 'probability' of a favorable outcome.
but only if the outcomes are equally likely.
What are the characteristics of probability?
Probability is a numerical value defined for a set of outcomes. It is non-negative and such that the sum or integral over all possible outcomes is 1.
yes because a quarter has 2 sides but flipping it you dont have a 100%chance if it lands on the same side
How does the experimental result differ from the theoretical in terms of accuracy?
Provided that the correct model is used, the theoretical probability is correct. The experimental probability tends towards the theoretical value as the number of trials increases.

What is the probability that the a dice 2 is drawn if the two dice total is 5?
The probability, when the 2-dice total is 5, that one of the two dice shows a two is 1/2. The probability that that die is selected is 1/4.
