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 picking a blue candy out of a bag that contains 50 red candies 50 blue candies and 50 green candies?

There are 20 candies of each of the five colors.

The probability that when you select 2 candies at random exactly one of the

candies will be orange is:

P(exactly one turns out orange out of 2) = 2∙(20/100)∙(80/99) = 0.323232...

P ≈ 32%

Is tossing a coin 10 time empirocal or theoretical proability?

Tossing a coin ten times is a [repeated] experiment or trial. It is neither empirical nor theoretical probability.

What is the probability of rolling 3 dice and getting a 2 a 4 and a 6?

The probability of getting any one number on a single die is 1/6. The three dice behave independently; hence, these the probabilities of these events can be multiplied.

(1/6)3

What is the probability that 15 rolls of a fair die will show 5 fives?

If the die is fair, the answer is 3003/32768 = 0.0624 or approx 1 in 16.

What is the possibility of rolling a 2 out of 500 rolls on a six sided cube?

Presumably you are asking what the chance of rolling AT LEAST one 2 is. To do this calculation we first work out the probability of NOT rolling a 2, which is 1/6.

We then calculate the probability of NOT rolling ANY 2 in 500 rolls. That is 1/6 to the power of 500.

So now that we have the probability of it NOT happening, we subtract that number from 1 to get the probability of it happening.

Pr(x) = 1 - 1/6^500

The answer is so close to 1 that it's not worth writing out decimally. Basically 0.999999... with almost 400 nines. It's virtually guaranteed that you will get at least one 2 in 500 rolls.

If your question was instead what is the chance of getting ONLY one 2 out of 500 rolls then the answer is basically the opposite - the answer is almost zero.

Why wasrock and roll so different?

Rock and roll was distinct because it blended various musical genres, including rhythm and blues, country, and jazz, creating a fresh sound that resonated with youth culture in the 1950s. Its emphasis on electric guitars, strong backbeats, and energetic performances set it apart from previous music styles. Additionally, rock and roll challenged social norms and embraced themes of rebellion and freedom, making it a cultural movement beyond just a musical genre. This innovative fusion and cultural impact contributed to its lasting legacy.

How is maths involved in your daily life?

You might have to use maths in working out costs of things. For example, if it says 20% off you would need to work out 20% of the cost to know how much to pay.

Also in cooking, working out how much in weight of the ingredients you need to use.

I find that the only maths you really need for everyday life is adding, subtracting, multiplication and divition. If you know how to apply those you're O.K. for most things.

I agree though this is really arithmetic - dealing with basic quantities of counted objects.

The question though is open-ended: what do you mean by "daily life"? Even if not a professional mathematician or physicist, as physics is largely applied maths, you may find yourself performing basic mensuration, trigonometry, algebra as applied formula manipulation, and so on.

For example, my hobbies can involve trig, co-ordinates, areas & volumes; a friend who is a central-heating installer has to know quite a few formulae in his daily trade-work.

Is the following sentence true or false when you toss a coin 20 times you will always get 10 heads and 10 tails?

Toss a coin 20 times and see what happens.

It is POSSIBLE to always get 10 heads and 10 tails...but it is not very PROBABLE.

How many ways can a person roll three 1-6 cubes to roll the sum of 12?

Oh, dude, let me break it down for you. So, to get a sum of 12 with three dice, you can roll a 6, a 5, and a 1. Or, you could roll a 5, a 6, and a 1. Or a 4, a 4, and a 4. That's like... three ways. Math can be fun, right?
