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.

When h has the value 5 what is 6h 9?

Unfortunately, limitations of the browser used by Answers.com means that we cannot see most symbols. It is therefore impossible to give a proper answer to your question. Please resubmit your question spelling out the symbols as "plus", "minus", "times", "divided by", "equals", "squared", "cubed" etc. There is no symbol between 6h and 9.

If a couple has three daughters what is the probability that the next child is a son if they already have three daughters?

There is no simple answer to the question because the children's genders are not independent events. They depend on the parents' ages and their genes.
If you believe that the children's genders are not independent then you would need to get empirical evidence from all families with four or more children in which the first three children were girls. If there are g families in which the fourth is a girl and b where the fourth is a boy then the required probability is b/(g+b).

However, if you assume that the children's genders are independent events then, given that the probability of a boy is approx 0.52, the probability of the fourth child is a boy is 0.52

What is the probability that a student offering statistics will pass it?

Whether or not the student passes depends on the level of the examinations, the effort put in by the student, the quality of his teachers. There are too many contributory factors for a simple answer.

What is the probability of rolling a sum of seven with two number cubes?

Number of possible outcomes of one cube = 6

Number of possible outcomes of the other cube = 6

Number of possible outcomes of two cubes = 6 x 6 = 36

Number of ways to roll a sum of 7 with two cubes = 6

1 - 6

2 - 5

3 - 4

4 - 3

5 - 2

6 - 1

Probability of rolling the sum of 7 = 6/36 = 1/6 = (16 and 2/3) percent

What is meant by discrete random variable?

A discrete random variable is a variable that can only take some selected values. The values that it can take may be infinite in number (eg the counting numbers), but unlike a continuous random variable, it cannot take any value in between valid results.

How do you find highest standard deviation in given number?

Standard deviations are measures of data distributions. Therefore, a single number cannot have meaningful standard deviation.

What is the probability of getting tails 4 times in a row when you flip a coin?

The probability of each coin flip, independently, is 0.5 or 50%. The probability of getting one result (either heads or tails) four times in a row is 0.5 to the fourth power or 0.0625, which equals 6.25%

Which of the following cannot be the probability of an event?

There is insufficient information in the question to properly answer it. You did not provide the list of "the following". Please restate the question.

However, by definition of probability, a probability less than 0 (the event will never happen) or greater than 1 (the event will always happen) is impossible, so maybe that answers your question.

If mean is 8 median is 6 and standard deviation is 2 what is skewness?

Karl Pearson simplified the topic of skewness and gave us some formulas to help.

The first is the Pearson mode or first skewness coefficient. It is defined by the (mean-median)/standard deviation. So in this case the Pearson mode is:

(8-6)/2

=1

There is also the Pearson Median. This is also called second skewness coefficient. It is defined as 3(mean-median)/standard deviation which in this case is

6/2

=3

hence the distribution is positive skewed

What is a single peaked distribution in statistics?

The classic example is a Bell curve. IQ testing (using the WAIS, or Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale) yields a peak at the 100-105 IQ mark, with a downward curve on either side of the peak - representing the higher and lower IQ scores, respectively.

A bag contains 3 blue marbles 7 red marbles and 5 yellow marbles If Joe picks 1 marble from the bag at random what is the probability that it will be blue?

1 in 15 chances that the marble will be blue, because there are 15 marbles all together in a bag, and you are only picking one out of it.

What are the odds of a bird pooping on you?

The probability of that event, some time during your lifetime, is pretty close to 1.

Disadvantages of a large sample size confidence Interval in statistices?

A disadvantage to a large sample size can skew the numbers. It is better to have sample sizes that are appropriate based on the data.

What is the shape of a normal distribution?

It is a symmetrical, "bell-shaped" curve. The tails are infinitely long.
