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.

Who created the deck of cards?
No one actually knows. Playing cards have been around since the early 9th century in China.
What is the possible outcome of tossing 10 coins?
There are 1024 different outcomes, so too many to list.
How are the experimental and theoretical probabilities the same?
They are both measures of the probability of an event occurring.
What is the chance of selecting a red queen from a pack of 52 cards?
There are 2 red queens, assuming a randomly shuffled deck the chances of any one card being selected is 1 in 52, therefore the chance of either of the red queens being selected is 2 in 52. This is normally shown as 1 in 26.
What is the probability of rolling six dice all at once and getting 1 2 3 4 5 and 6?
It is 6!/66 = 720/66 = 0.0154 approx.
2 in 7.
What is the fundamental concept for probability and statistics?
The fundamental concept is that there are many processes in the world that contain a random element. If that were not the case, everything would be deterministic and there would be no need for probability of statistics.
What is the probability of getting 2 prime nos from 1 to 20?
In the sample space [1,20], there are 8 prime numbers, [2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19]. The probability, then, of randomly choosing a prime number in the sample space [1,20] is (8 in 20), or (2 in 5), or 0.4. The probability of choosing two of them is (8 in 20) times (7 in 19) which is (56 in 1064) or (7 in 133) or about 0.05263.

Experimental Probability: The number of times the outcome occurs compared to the total number of trials.
example: number of favorable outcomes over total number of trials.
Amelynn is flipping a coin. She finished the task one time, then did it again. Here are her results: heads: three times and tails: seven times. What is the experimental probability of the coin landing on heads?
Answer: 3/10
Explanation: Amelynn flipped the coin a total of 10 times, getting heads 3 times. Therefore, the answer is: 3/10.
Head lice, or pediculosis capitis, is caused by an infestation of head lice, peduculis humanus capitis. It is spread by direct head to head contact with an infected person. Transmission by bedding, clothing, or headgear is possible, though less common.

Probability of getting both head and tail simultaneously when a coin is tossed?
The probability is 50-50.
What is the probability of rolling a standard number cube and it landing on an even number 3 times?
It should be 1/8 3/6=1/2 roll 1 1/2 roll 2 1/2 roll 3 1/2 1/2 times 1/2 times 1/2 is 1/8
How can the probability of a coin landing on heads or tails be useful in real life?
There are many event, in real life, which have binary outcomes (A or B0 which are equally likely. In studying such situations the coin probabilities are obvious analogies.
The probability of the mean plus or minus 1.96 standard deviations is 0. The probability that a continuous distribution takes any particular value is always zero. The probability between the mean plus or minus 1.96 standard deviations is 0.95

- tornado
- flood
- torrential rain
- epidemic
- pandemic
- lightning strike
