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.

Why are there fifty-two cards in a pack?

If your question refers to the structure of the cards, there are four suits, each with 13 cards:

A,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,J,Q,K

If your question refers to why these cards were selected, the popular answer is that there are four suits for the four seasons and thirteen cards in each because there are thirteen weeks in a season. As you can see, the 52 cards correspond with the fact that a year has 52 weeks.

What does population size means?

Statistics often requires one to make estimates of some measure (variable) about a set of units. The total number of such units is the population size.

Note that population, in this context, need not refer to people. If the study is about household expenditure on food (in some area), then the population is all households and the population size is the number of households (in that area). If the study is about diversity of insects in a field, the population may be all 1-metre squares in the field, and the size of the population will be the number of such plots - which will equal the area of the field.

Is 20 a probability?

No, a probability must needs be a number between 0 and 1.20% might be a probability, though - since that is equivalent to 0.2.

Can you predict the numbers of times that you can get head or tail when you flip a coin 5-times and why it is happen?

you cannot predict how many times you get heads or tails but however you can predict the probability it will hit heads or tails only which is don by multiplying 1/2 by itself 5 times

What does probibility mean?

The amount that something is bound to happen. The probability of rain tonight is good means, it will probably rain. The probability of the bookstore running out of books, is slim to none. It shouldn't.

How many numbers can be made using a 7 a 5 and a 3?

We need to know how many digits the number is and if we can allow repeats. I will do this problem assuming 3 digit numbers and allowing repeats. Then there are 3 choices for each digits and 3x3x3=27 words of length 3. If we want to consider words of length 2 also, add 9 and of length 1 add 3 and for 0, we use none of them. So there are missing details we need to be sure we are doing the problem correctly. It all depends on exactly what is being asked!

How many cards would you have to draw to be absolutely positive of getting two of the same suit?

Assuming a standard 52-card deck with 13 cards of each of the four suits, you would have to draw five cards, because the first four cards could very easily be of different suits. If four cards of different suits are drawn on the first four draws, the fifth card is guaranteed to match the suit of one of them. What is the probability of drawing four unsuited cards when drawing only four cards?

P = (52/52) * (39/51) * (26/50) * (13/49) = 0.105498199. So, the chances of drawing four unsuited cards when drawing four cards is a bit greater than one chance in ten.

What is the probability of rolling a 5 or a 9 with two dice?

There are 8 possible combinations that would produce a 5 or 9 and 8/36=2/9.

How do you mathematically find probability?

find the objects area first. Then put the objects' area into a fraction by smaller in numerator and larger in denominator then divide and put decimal into fraction or percent
