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.

What is the probability of getting a queen and a heart?

The probability of getting the queen of hearts is 1 in 52, or about 0.01923.

The probability of getting any queen is 4 in 52, or about 0.07692.

The probability of getting any heart is 13 in 52, or exactly 0.25.

What is the sample space for flipping a coin 3 times?

The sample space when tossing a coin three times is [HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT]

It does not matter if you toss one coin three times or three coins one time. The outcome is the same.

What does a negative deviation mean?

A negative deviation means that the observation is smaller than whatever it is that the deviation is being measured from.

How many ways can you arrange the letters PARTY if the first letter must be an A?

The number of arrangements of the letters PARTY, if the first letter must be an A is the same as the number of arrangements of the letters PRTY, and that is 4 factorial, or 24.

Is it true that the probability of rolling a six with a fair die five times in a row is?

The probability of rolling a six with a standard die five times in a row is (1 in 6)5 which equals 1 in 7776 or about 0.0001286.

How many different 4 letter combinations can you make with 6 different letters?

6P4 = 6!/(6-4)! = 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 = 360 four letter permutations from 6 different letters.

6C4 = 6!/[4!∙(6-4)!] = 15 four letter combinationsfrom 6 different letters.

When computing the standard deviation does it matter whether the data are sample data or data comprising the entire population?

Yes, it does. If the data are sample data, than the divisor is N. If the data are the entire population, than the divisor is N-1 is account for the loss of one degree of freedom in the calculation of both the mean and the standard deviation from the same data.

What standard deviation tells us about a distribution?

It is a measure of the spread of the distribution: whether all the observations are clustered around a central measure or if they are spread out.

What does a confidence interval for a population mean constructed from sample data show?

A confidence interval of x% is an interval such that there is an x% probability that the true population mean lies within the interval.

How many arrangements can be made with the letters sociological?

There are 12 factorial or 479,001,600 permutations of the letters in the word SOCIOLOGICAL. However, since the letter O occurs three times, the letter I occurs twice, the letter L occurs twice, and the letter C occurs twice, you have to divide that by 8 (O), 2 (I), 2 (L), and 2 (C) giving you 7,484,400 distinctpermutations.

What is the probability that 14 rolls of a fair die will show 6 ones?

When a die is rolled once, the probability of 1 showing up is 1/6 .

When a die is rolled 14 times, the probability of 1 showing up 6 times is a binomial probability.

Let x = number of times 1 shows up

P(x=6) = 14C6 (1/6)^6 (5/6)^(14-6)

= 14C6 (1/6)^6 (5/6)^8 = 0.014982

When two dice are thrown let X be the larger of the two numbers on the two throws find the probability distribution mean and variance of X?

The probability distribution is

P(X = 1) = 1/36

P(X = 2) = 3/36

P(X = 3) = 5/36

P(X = 4) = 7/36

P(X = 5) = 9/36

P(X = 6) = 11/36

P = 0 otherwise.

Mean(X) = 4.4722

Variance = 1.9715

What makes the range less desirable than the standard deviation as a measure of dispersion?

Range can include outliers that are not normal values and can skew overall data. Most relevant values can be found within one or two standard deviations on a normal curve.

What is the probability of getting a sum of 7 or 11 by rolling two dice?

There are 36 permutations of two dice. Of them, 6 have a sum of 7, (1+6, 2+5, 3+4, 4+3, 5+2, and 6+1) and 2 have a sum of 11 (5+6 and 6+5). The probability, then of getting a sum of 7 or 11 is (6 plus 2) in 36, or 8 in 36, or 2 in 9, or about 0.2222.

How many outcomes are there when a die is rolled twice?

6 possible numbers to land on the first time, 6 possible numbers to land on the second time, 6x6=36
