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.

Can odds be greater than one?

yes they can

In terms of probability, one is taken to mean absolute certainty, something that must happen, equivalent to a 100% probability (100 out of 100 is equal to one). Hence, odds cannot be greater than one.

When Rolling a die 5 times and noting whether it is odd or even on each roll what is the size of sample space?

It all depends on what you do with the information that you note. If you count up the number of odds [or evens] in the five rolls, your sample space is {0,1,2,3,4,5} with size 6. If you look for whether you had more odds than evens your sample space is {Y,N}, with size 2. If you subtract the number of even outcomes from the number of odd outcomes, your sample space is {-5,-4,,...,4,5} which is of size 11.

If the mean of a normal distribution is negative what is the varience?

The variance is always positive. The variance is not directly related to the sign (nor magnitude) of the mean.

Can behavior be passed on through genes?

they say all the time that they can but scientist have been working on it and they think its not possible,theres a chance but its very slim.

In probability why would a table be used instead of a tree diagram?

There is no particular reason. There are times when a table is more useful and others where a tree diagram is better. If the probability of an event changes according to the outcome of an earlier event (for example picking cards without replacing) then a table will be close to useless whereas a tree diagram is perfectly suited.

A bag contains 10 white guumballs and 12 orange gumballs what is the ratio f white one to the total number of gumballs in the bag?

A bag that contains 10 white gum balls and 12 orange gum balls the ratio of the white one would be 2.2. This is a math problem.

What are two problems with the one-time pad?

The two problems are; 1. The One time pad needs to be truly random. Pseudo random generators are quick however they can be predicted.

The second is practicability of being able to transmit the number of keys securely to the receiver.

For every bit of plain text, there is also 1bit of key.

What is the probability that a diamond will not be pulled out of a deck of cards?

It is 0 - if you pull out 40 or more cards without replacement!

If you pull out only one, at random, the probability is 3/4.

What is the probabilityof rolling a 2 on one roll of a die?

On a standard 6 sided die then the probability would be 1/6 if it is a 12 sided die then it would be 1/12 it varies by how man sides of the die there are.

How many 3 of hearts in a deck?
