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 selcting two s's if the first card is not replaced before selcting the second card?

There are no s's in a standard deck of cards, so the probability of selecting any s's, in any sequence of draws, in any strategy of replacement is exactly zero.

What is the probability that this spinner will stop on a 5?

It depends on how many positions the spinner has, and on how many of them are a 5. The question, as stated, is incomplete and cannot be answered. Please restate the question.

Can you have a z score above 3?

Yes.

However, a z-score greater than 3 implies either that the outcome is rare (prob = 0.135%) or that some of the assumptions regarding the variable are incorrect. This could be the distribution itself or its parameters.

How many 10's in a pack of 52 playing cards?

What are the odds in favor of drawing a card higher than a 9 from an ordinary deck of cards?

If you assume that the Ace is high, then the odds of drawing a card higher than a nine is a standard deck of 52 cards is 20 in 52, or 5 in 13, or about 0.3846.

If you assume that the Ace is low, then the odds of drawing a card higher than a nine is a standard deck of 52 cards is 16 in 52, or 4 in 13, or about 0.3077.

What is the probability that a male will inherit an X-linkedrecessive allele from his father?

There is no possibility that a male will inherit and X-linked recessive allele from his father because for a male child the father only contributes the Y chromosome to his son (of the XY pair he has). If the fater's X chromosome has a recessive allele then it is 100% certain that he will pas this on to all his daughters.

What is the difference between a population distribution and sampling distribution?

Population distribution refers to the patterns that a population creates as they spread within an area. A sampling distribution is a representative, random sample of that population.

How many ways can the letters in Toronto be arranged?

There are 7 letters, but three 'o's are indistinguishable, so there are 7! ÷ 3! ways = 840 ways.

If the 'T' and the 't' are also considered to be indistinguishable (that is ignoring the case of the letters; making "Toronto" and "toronTo", etc the same), then the number of ways is 7! ÷ (3! x 2!) ways = 420 ways.

! after a number means the factorial of the number which is the product of all numbers less than or equal to the number, and greater than or equal to 1. Thus:

7! = 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1.

3! = 3 x 2 x 1

2! = 2 x 1

0! is defined to be 1.

What is the probability of getting tails twice in a row?

How many simple random samples of size 5 can be selected from a population of size 34?

278 256

The number of 5 different item combinations from a pool of 34 different items is

given by:

34C5 = 34!/(5!29!) = 278 256

What is the probability of throwing a 5 on a dice?

1 in 6. U would of thought it was 5/6 but there aren't five 5s on a dice. There's only1.

What does square of probability explain?

If p is the probability that an event will happen once, then the probability that it will happen just twice is p2. The probability it will happen 3 times is p3. The probability it will happen at least once ( ie once or twice or three times ore more times is p + p2 + p3 + ... = p(1-p). For "or" you add probabilities, for "and" you multiply probabilities.

What is the probability of being dealt a spade and heart in a deck of 52 cards?

Number of cards in a deck = 52

Number of cards that are spade = 13

Number of cards that are heart = 13

Probability that the card drawn is a spade and heart =

13/52 + 13/52

= 26/52 or 1/2
