What are the requirements of a probability distribution?
It is always non-negative.
The sum (or integral) over all possible outcomes is 1.

You roll 2 number cubes each labeled 1 to 6 what is probabilty you will roll a double?
The probability is based on the second cube having 6 sides. No matter what you roll on the first cube, the chance of rolling "doubles" is 1 in 6! Now if you ask, what is the chance in rolling a specific set of doubles, the chance is 1 in 6 times 1 in 6 times, or 1 in 36 ...
What is the probability of getting exactly 2 heads in 3 coin tosses?
With 3 coin tosses, the possible outcomes are:
HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT
There are 8 possible outcomes and 3 of them have 2 heads. Thus:
probability = 3/8 (= 0.375)
Two independent outcomes with constant probabilities.
This means that if a newborn female is 53.8 cm in length, then she is longer than 95% of other newborn females.
What is the probability of drawing a vowel from the word mathematics?
You have a total of 11 letters in "mathematics" and you have 4 vowels (a,e,a,i) so the probability of drawing a vowel is 4/11.
In other words if you were to consider the vowel's to be 1's and the consonants 2's. What is the probability of drawing a "1". There would be 4 1's and 7 2's. It would be 4/11
ok I'm sure not many people will be asking this but a biased spinner is basically a spinner that is unfair or not accurate
Why can't probability be negative?
Because probability is a measure of how likely it is that some event will occur. If there is no chance at all that the even will occur than the probability is 0. If it will occur with 100% certainty, then it is 1 or 100%
A negative number would have no meaning in terms of how likely an even is to occur?
3/5=g/30
You roll a standard number cube and get a multiple of 4?
You got a one or a four. One is the zeroeth multiple of 4. Four is the first multiple of four. Any other result, such as 8, and you are not rolling a standard die.

What are odds of probability of 9 over 11?
For 9 to 11 odds of winning;
Probability of winning:
0.55, or;
Chance of winning:
55%
The difference between an empirical distribution and a theoretical distribution?
Empirical Distribution: based on measurements that are actually taken on a variable.
Theoretical Distribution: not constructed on measurements but rather by making assumptions and representing these assumptions mathematically.
What is The difference between an empirical distribution and a theoretical distribution?
empirical distribution is based on your observation of out comes, it is based on real data. on the other hand theoretical is base on your theory regarding the distribution and the parameters, (i.e. normal/exponential...., u=5 vs u .5....and so on)
If a hexahedral die is rolled two times what is the probability of not rolling a five both times?
25/36
What is the theoretical probability of rolling a number greater than a 1 on a fair number cube?
5/6 0.833333333 ect. 83%
What is standard normal variate?
It's the same as a z-Transformation.
for all xi: (xi-mean(x)) / std(x)
Discrete and Continuous data is used in mathematics?
Yes it is. Discrete data is something that's set. Like say you were making a line graph about renting bikes. You can only rent whole bikes there is nothing in between. You shouldn't connect points on a line graph with discrete data but some cases can be argued.
Continuous data is usually a measurement that could change like time.
What is the probability of at least one birthday match among a group of 41 people?
The probability of at least 1 match is equivalent to 1 minus the probability of there being no matches.
The first person's birthday can fall on any day without a match, so the probability of no matches in a group of 1 is 365/365 = 1.
The second person's birthday must also fall on a free day, the probability of which is 364/365
The probability of the third person also falling on a free day is 363/365, which we must multiply by the probability of the second person's birthday being free as this must also happen. So for a group of 3 the probability of no clashes is (363*364)/(365*365).
Continuing this way, the probability of no matches in a group of 41 is (365*364*363*...326*325)/36541
This can also be written 365!/(324!*36541)
Which comes to 0.09685...
Therefore the probability of at least one match is 1 - 0.09685 = 0.9032
So the probability of at least one match is roughly 90%
What number will come up the most when rolling dice?
since there are 6 sides to it any of them could show up, 1,2,3,4,5, and 6 could all show up unlikely
How many different combinations of 4 books can be chosen from 6 books?
The number of 4 different book combinations you can choose from 6 books is;
6C4 =
6!/[4!(6-4)!] =
15 combinations of 4 different books.
What is a qualitative random variable?
A random variable which can take qualitative values rather than numeric values. For example, the question "What colour are your eyes?" will generate qualitative answers.
