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.

Is it possible to have a prime and triangular number result when you roll 4 dice?

First few triangular numbers: 0, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28

Numbers that can be thrown with four dice:

4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24

Which of these numbers that are triangular: 6, 10, 15, 21

None of these is prime.

What is in probability any activity based on chance such as tossing a coin?

For the example that you gave, it is 50% heads, 50% tails, assuming a fair coin and a fair toss. For other activities, the probabilites vary, for example, tossing a six-sided die is 1/6 - 1, 1/6 - 2, 1/6 - 3, 1/6 - 4, 1/6 - 5, 1/6 - 6, assuming a fair die and a fair toss.

What is the difference between possible outcomes and sample space?

A possible outcome is an element of the outcome space. All possible outcomes make up the outcome space.

What does theoretical probability mean in math terms?

Sometimes it is possible to define a model for a trial or experiment and then use mathematical or scientific rules to determine the probability of the possible outcomes. Such a procedure gives theoretical probabilities.

Why are the results of a punnet square probable events and not certain events?

The punnet square gives the results as probable because is it similar to rolling dice. If you have a die with four sides, when you roll it, the chance is 1 out of 4 that a certain number will show. You could roll it 20 times and it COULD show the same number 20 times. But the probability is 1 in 4 each roll. The Punnet square is the same.

What are the possible outcomes when a dime and a four sided die is rolled?

If

H = heads and T = Tails, and

if the four sided die has values A and B,

the 8 possible outcomes are:

HA, HB, HC, HD, TA, TB, TC and TD.

What are your chances of drawing an even numbered black card?

5 (2, 4, 6, 8, 10) times 2 in 52, or 10 in 52, or 5 in 26, or about 0.1923.

How is Pi relevant to students?

Pi is relevant to statistics students as it (for example) appears in the well known normal distribution probability density function.

Flip coin twice what is the probability that 1coin will land on heads and 1 on tails?

Since the chance of lanind on either heads or tails in 50% or 1/2 every time the coin is flipped, all you have to do is multiply 1/2 x 1/2 because you are flipping twice. That is, 1/2 chance you will get heads the first time, and then 1/2 you will tails the next time. The chances never change on a coin. So your answer is 1/4 or 25% chance of that even occuring.

What is the mean and standard deviations and the standard normal distribution?

Mean is the average, sum total divided by total number of data entries.

Standard deviation is the square root of the sum total of the data values divided by the total number of data values.

The standard normal distribution is a distribution that closely resembles a bell curve.

Probability of engineering?

The probability of engineering is 1. It exists and so it is a certainty that is exists.

What is the different between standard normal distribution and normal distribution?

A normal distribution can have any value for its mean and any positive value for its variance.

A standard normal distribution has mean 0 and variance 1.
