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 score of 0.60 standard deviation represents what score of percentile?

It depends on the underlying distribution. If Gaussian (standrad normal) then the percentile is 77.

Is white marble softer than coloured marble?

Marble is a metamorphic rock and the hardness of the marble is determined by the indigenous rock of the area rather than color. There are some white marbles, such as Vermont White (from Brazil) that had a hardness close to that of granite.

What probability of rolling a 6 on the eighth toss of a die?

The same probability of rolling a 6 on any roll, you have 1 sixth of a chance or 1 out of 6 or 1/6. The 8th roll is independent from all remaining rolls.

What is the probability of not rolling sum of 6 with two fair dice?

The probability of not rolling a sum of six with two fair dice is 1 minus the probability of rolling a sum of six.

There are 36 permutations of rolling two dice. Of these, five sum to six, 1+5, 2+4, 3+3, 4+2, and 5+1. The probability, then of rolling a sum of six is 5 in 36.

The probability, then of not rolling a sum of six is 31 in 36, or about 0.8611.

How many three digits can be formed from the digits 0 1 2 3 4 5 and 6 if each digits can be used only once?

The first digit has to be in the set [1-6] because, if it were zero, it would not be a three digit number. The number of combinations, not using duplicates, of three numbers from the set [0-6] is 6 times 6 times 5, or 180.

How do you calculate distribution of sample means?

The sample mean is distributed with the same mean as the popualtion mean. If the popolation variance is s2 then the sample mean has a variance is s2/n. As n increases, the distribution of the sample mean gets closer to a Gaussian - ie Normal - distribution.

This is the basis of the Central Limit Theorem which is important for hypothesis testing.

If you had ten marbles 3 blue and 7 red and you picked out three marbles at the same time what would be the odds of picking 2 blue marbles?

1 in 5.45 of picking at least 2 blue marbles

any 2 from 3 is 3

correct picks =3X7(red)=21 of 2 blue only

1 pick of 3 blue only

any 3 from 10=120

120/22=5.45

How many jacks or queens are in a deck of cards?

There are 4 suits (heart, club, diamond, spade) and 3 royals: king, queen, and jack. Since you only want to know 2 of them, take 4 (number of suits) and multiply it by 2 (number of royals). There are 4 queens and 4 jacks in a deck of cards.

How To Win At Bingo?

Bingo is a game that practically everyone has played at at least one point or other in their life, and it is also known for being one of the most beloved pastimes in America. More often than not, this game is played for the fun of it and not for the sole sake of winning, but there are people out there who take their Bingo seriously. There are many different forms of the Bingo game out there today, but the original version of the game was known as Beano and played in country fair events.

In Beano, the game dealer was responsible for choosing out flat, thin numbered circles from a carton of cigars. The players would place a bean on their cards to mark every number that was called out on their mat. That is where the origin of the game’s name is found. In 1929, a New York salesman renamed the game as Bingo when he incidentally yelled bingo! instead of beano. The word bingo caught on like wildfire, and that is how it’s been ever since that accidental slip-up.

Since then, the game has endured slight gameplay changes, but the object of the game still remains. Bingo is considered to be one of the few genuine games of chance. Winning the game has been compared to finding a needle in a haystack, but there are several strategies you could learn and utilize to increase your chances at victory. One obvious tip to bear in mind is that playing a game of Bingo with fewer players will increase your probability for winning that round. In fact, this is the only game tip out there that is known for helping Bingo players to raise their chances at being victorious.

There is one other conjecture that has some solidity to it in the world of Bingo, and it is known as the Tippet Theory, which was conceived by a UK man named L.H.C. Tippett. In a nutshell, this theory centers around the concept that when a number is chosen - let’s say 75 - the median for that number is 38. That is one approach to use for winning Bingo.

How many people share your birthday?

On average every day there are 1.9 million people celebrating their birthday. That is the total global population (7 billion) divided by the number of days in a year (365).

A card is picked at random from a standard deck What is the probability of a drawing card that is a red Ace?

Probability is the number of ways an event can occur divided by the number of total events. The number of ways a red ace can occur is 2 (ace of hearts, diamonds) and total number of events is 52 (standard deck has 52 cards). So the probability is 2/52 or 1/26.

What is the clear definition for the J curve?

The J-Curve, as posited by Ian Bremmer in "The J Curve: A New Way to Understand Why Nations Rise and Fall" says that if you plot political openness on the horizontal axis and a society's stability on the vertical axis, the resulting graph will have a J shape. This is, very repressive regimes are very stable. However, as they begin to become more open (move to the right horizontally), they become less stable initially (move down vertically), reach a point of minimum stability, then become more stable. This may explain why some very repressive regimes (Iran, North Korea) may be more stable than some partially-open countries. Also, other factors can affect the overall shape and position of the J curve. A a country gets wealthier, the entire J-curve can shift upwards, increasing stability at every point.

What is the theoretical probability of not rolling a 2 while the cube rolls 50 times?

The theoretical probability of not rolling a 2 while the cube rolls 50 times (calling it

event E) is: P(E) = (5/6)50 = 1.09884819... x 10-4 = 0.000109884810... ≈ 0.011%

When two dice are rolled what is the probability of the sum being less than 11?

This is easier to solve by looking at the reverse problem, what is the probability of the sum being 11 or more. Out of the 6*6 = 36 outcomes, three (5,6), (6,5) and (6,6) satisfy this event. So the probability of getting a sum of 11 or more is 3/36. So the probability of less than 11 is 1-Pr(>=11) = 1 - 3/36 = 33/36 = 11/12 or 0.91667

Why iodobenzene cannot be prepared by Gattermann reaction?

The Gatterman reaction is used to convert benzene to benzaldehyde (and derivatives). You need to use the Sandmeyer reaction to add iodo groups to aromatic rings. I think textbooks sometimes gets the two reactions mixed up.

What is the probability of having 3 girls?

33% for every girl... (quick but wrong)

2. for a given solo pregnancy, we have the b-g option, or 1/2.

For two pregnancies, we have bb, bg, gb, gg.

for three pregnancies, we have bbb, bbg, bgb, bgg, ggg, gbg, ggb, gbb.

Of which some outcomes are equivalent in terms of numbers. (e.g. ggb, gbg, bgg)

However only one of the eight outcomes gives three girls, so the answer is the probablilty is 1/8.

An easier method, and necessary when the number are greater, is to say the probability is 1/2 in one pregnancy.

And since (for our purposes) the pregnancies are independent events, the cumulative probability is (1/2)3 which = 1/8 or 12.5% or 0.125.
