User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Two events are equally unlikely if the probability that they do not happen is the same for each event. And, since the probability of an event happening and not happening must add to 1, equally unlikely events are also equally likely,

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The probability of tossing a coin twice and getting tails both times is 1 in 4, or 25%.

Why does the standard error become smaller simply by increasing the sample size?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Because of the Law of Large Numbers. According to that law, the observations tends towards the mean. This increases the concentration of observations nears the mean thereby reducing the variance or standard error.

What is the difference between simple random sampling and systematic random sampling?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

simple random sample is to select the sample in random method but systematic random sample is to select the sample in particular sequence (ie 1st 11th 21st 31st etc.)

• Simple random sample requires that each individual is separately selected but systematic random sample does not selected separately.

• In simple random sampling, for each k, each sample of size k has equal probability of being selected as a sample but it is not so in systematic random sampling.

When a coin is tossed 10 times what is the probability of getting exactly six head?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Assuming it is a fair coin, P(6H in 10 tosses) = 10C6 * (1/2)6*(1/2)(10-6) = [10*9*8*7/(4*3*2*1)]/210

=210/1024 = 0.2051
