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 a theoretical alternative?

A theoretical alternative refers to a concept or idea that proposes a different approach or solution to a problem, distinct from existing methods or frameworks. It often arises in academic, scientific, or philosophical discussions, where it serves as a basis for exploring new possibilities or challenging established norms. Theoretical alternatives can stimulate innovation and critical thinking, encouraging the exploration of diverse perspectives in various fields.

What are the possible combinations of rolling two dice to get 11?

11 = 6+5 is the only solution, so there are two combinations

first dice : 6, second dice : 5

first dice : 5, second dice : 6

How do you find the probability of drawing 5 red cards in 5 card poker hand?

A quick way is to simply count all the possible hands with red cards and compare to the total number of hands. There are 52 total cards and 26 red cards. We can use the binomial coefficient for this, otherwise known as the "choose" operator.

A = Total Hands: (52c5) = 2598960
B = Red Hands: (26c5) = 65780
C = Chance of red hand = A / B = 2.53%

Alternately you can use a permutation solution, for each card, in order, what is the chance to get a red card. There are 26 of 52 red cards on the first card, so 26/52. Then continue:

26/52 * 25/51 * 24/50 * 23/49 * 22/48 = 2.53%

If you play with the form of the equations, and understand a bit about combinations, you'll see that this second form is very closely related to the expanded version of the first form. This two methods have advantages in different situations. Here they are about the same.

What is on the back side of a penny?

There is a design of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. on the back of the penny. Also are the words "United States of America" and "E Pluribus Unum" and, lastly "One Cent".

Why do they call tails on a coin tails?

Because there is usually the head of some emperor or king or queen on the other side. To call the opposite side "tails" just seems to be as good as calling it anything else.

A dime and a penny are tossed and one dice is rolled what is the total number of possible outcomes?

There are 2 outcomes for the dime (H or T), 2 for the penny (H or T) and 6 for the die (1,2,3,4,5,6). In all, there are 2*2*6 = 24 outcomes. Some of them are given below in the pattern: dime, penny, die. The rest are easy to generate.

[H,H,1], [H,H,2], ... , [H,H,6],

[H,T,1], [H,T,2], ...

[T,H,1], ...

[T,T,1], ...

How many ways can you put 5 different letters in order?

Let's start with the first.

You have 5 to choose from so that's 5.

Now for each of those 5, let's choose the second letter.

You now have 4 to choose from.

So we're up to 5 x 4.

In the third position we're down to a choice of 3, so total possibilities go up to 5x4x3.

In the fourth, we have 2 left, so the choices go up to 5x4x3x2.

After all that, there is only one left for the fifth position: just one to choose from.

So the final answer: 5x4x3x2x1.

That's called 5 factorial.

How many ways can you arrange the letters in the word THREE?

5!/2=60 [If all the letters were different, it would be 5!=120. But you need to divide by two since "e" appears twice.]

What is a zero-one law?

A zero-one law is the law that, in some mathematical circumstances, the probability of an event can only be zero or one and not any intermediate value.

What are mirror twins?
