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.

A diagram used to determine the number of possible outcomes in a probability situation?
a sample .... i think
If you take 4 balls and there are only 3 colors, there is no way you cannot get 2 of the same color. So 100%
Importances of probability in real life?
the importance of probability of our life is wait example: A: he is doing a coin toss now...
B:really, ok tell me he is going to get head or tail.
A: the probability is 50/50 i dont no.
seee you stupid,,,,,,idiot......i am telling those words becuz i dont even really know the ans ;P
If you toss a coin 10 times and count 58 heads, you know the coin is NOT fair.
What is the outcome when you draw a card from a standard deck of 52 and then roll a die?
The sample space is [any card of the deck] [any face of the die]
keke love oshay so much it makes her want to cry so bad that she don't wnt to look in hi face
What does it mean when 9 furry caterpillars crawling head to tail across your way?

Here is another way to phrase the question: If 18 out of 20 customers make a purchase in a shop, and three customers are selected at random, what is the probablity that all will make a purchase?
Each random customer has a 18/20 chance of being one that purchased, so the probability that all three make a purchase is 18/20*18/20*18/20=.729
How many different outcomes are possible when flipping a coin and rolling a dice?
The coin can result in one of two possibilities. For each of those . . .
The cube has 6 possibilities.
Total possibilities for the coin and the cube = 2 x 6 = 12 .
Sounds like a possible capped die error -- worth $50-$100. Check out Mike Byers' Error Coin Website -- http://mikebyers.com -- and perhaps you can send pictures to him for an exact appraisal.
How many different ways can you arrange the letters of the word math?
ham, hat, at and mat
ALL i could think of sorry!
How many ways can you put 8 mutually non-attacking rooks on a standard 8x8 chessboard?
8!, which equals 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 40320
What is probability 2 girls are chosen if 10 students are girls and 15 are boys?
The probability of choosing 2 girls at random from group of 25 students of which
10 are girls and 15 are boys is:
P( 2 girls) = (10/25)∙(9/24) = 3/20 = 0.15 = 15%
A standard die has no memory and so the probability of rolling an even number is always a half.
If you did not know that the die was standard and were using the fact that 7 out of 12 rolls were even as an empirical estimate for a loaded die then the answer is 7/12.
(3/7)*(2/7)=(6/49)
You have a 6 out of 49 probability.
Number of possible ways to pull out one sheet = 8
Number of ways to pull out a number less than 5 = 4 (1, 2, 3, or 4)
Probability of success = 4/8 = 50%
What is the probabilit if I throw 4 dice probabiliti that I get all the same numbers on the dice?
(1/6) x (1/6) x (1/6) = 1/216 = 0.00463 = 0.463 percent
