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.

How many distinguishable permutation in Cincinnati?

If the first and second C are indistinguishable, then there are 554,400 permutations. If one is upper case and the other is lower case, then there are twice as many.

How do you determend probibility?

You can either determine the probability through fractions. ( i.e: a coin has only two sides, if flipped it will be either heads or tails; the outcome will be 1/2 to happen: so equal chance of either. )

However, you can also determine it by how likely something is to happen, e.g: if it is winter it is likely it will rain, yet in summer it is unlikely to rain.

What is the probability of a penny landing on heads?

Simple question, difficult answer. It depends on how many times you want the penny to land on heads. The probability of a penny landing on heads once is 1 in 2. For it to land on heads twice is 1 in 4, for three times it is 1 in 8, and so on and so forth.

If the ratio of red to blue marbles in a bag of 600 marbles was 7 to 5 how many marbles were blue?

250

Here's how:

1. Add the ratio: 7 + 5 = 12

2. Divide the total no. of marbles (600) by 12 = 50

3. The total no. of reds = 7 x 50 = 350

4. The total no. of blues = 5 x 50 = 250

(Total blues & reds = 350 + 250 = 600)

If there are 9 oranges plus 5 apples plus 3 kiwis in a bag equals what probability for getting 1 kiwi from the bag.?

Total number of fruit in the bag = 9 + 5 + 3 =17

Number of Kiwi = 3

Probability of picking a kiwi out of the bag =3/17

What does it mean if the probability of an even number is 0?

If the probability of a event is zero, then the event cannot occur. Therefore, if the probability of an even number is zero, then the probability of an odd number is one.

What is the probability of spinning two coins and getting two heads?

Possible outcomes are HH, HT, TH, TT; therefore the probability of HH is 1/4 or 0.25.

The distribution of sample means consists of?

A set of probabilities over the sampling distribution of the mean.

What is the probability of drawing a three or a heart from a deck of playing cards?

With a regular deck (2-Ace with ♥,♦,♣, and ♠), the probability of drawing a three is 1 in 13. The probability for a heart is 1 in 4, a.k.a. 25% or 1/4 . The probability for a 3 of hearts is 1 in 52.

Improve:

And to be more specific:

because a heart is 25%, and a three is 4/52 % and the h of hearts is 1/52 getting a 3 OR heart is 25% (heart) + 7.69% (a 3) - 1.923% (3 of hearts can't be counted twice!) = .30767

What would be the color vision of children if their mom is colorblind and their dad is normal?

Colorblindness is a recessive, sex-linked trait, and the gene that causes it occurs on the X chromosome. For the mother to be colorblind, she must have two copies of the gene and be homozygous recessive. The father, on the other hand, can not have the gene, because he (as a male) only has one X chromosome. So, if we let Xc represent the recessive gene for colorblindness and Xn represent the normal gene, the the mother is XcXc and the father is XnY.

All of their children will receive the recessive gene from their mother. In the males, this means that they will be colorblind, because the chromosome they get from their father will by the Y chromosome. The daughters, however, will get the Xn gene, which is dominant and will override the gene for colorblindness. Thus, all of the couple's sons will be colorblind, and none of their daughters will be.

If two fair dice are rolled what is the probability that the total number of spots shown is divisible by 2 or 3?

you have 36 options:

1,1

1,2

1,3

1,4

1,5

1,6

2,1

2,2

etc

the only sums divisible by 2 or 3 are:

2,3,4,6,8,9,10,12

the total number of combinations are

1,1

1,2

1,3

2,2

1,4

2,3

5,1

4,2

3,3

4,4

5,3

You select 12 people from a group of 30 people that includes 12 men and 18 women what is the probability that the group will be 12 women?

The probability that 12 randomly selected people from a group of 12 men and 18 women will all be women is (18 in 30) times (17 in 29) times (16 in 28) times (15 in 27) times (14 in 26) times (13 in 25) times (12 in 24) times (11 in 23) times (10 in 22) times (9 in 21) times (8 in 20) times (7 in 19), which is equal to 8,892,185,702,400 in 2,180,547,008,640,000, which is equal to 68 in 16,675,which is equal to 0.00407796.

How many prime numbers are there in a deck of cards?

There are 48 prime numbers in a deck of cards.

The prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, and 7. There are four suits - that makes 16. The numbers are repeated on the top and bottom of each card - that makes 32. The numbers are repeated in the number of pips on the cards - that makes 48.

And you thought I was crazy. :-)>
