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 ways the word probability can arrange?

There are 11 factorial, or 39,916,800 permutations of the letters in the word PROBABILITY. However, because the letters B and I are duplicated, there are only one quarter of that, or 9,979,200 distinguishable permutations.

What is the probability that in this family the first child born is a boy and the last child born is a girl of four children?

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.

However, if you assume that they are independent events then, given that the probability of a boy is approx 0.5169, the probability of the event described is 0.5169*1*1*0.4831 = 0.2497

What is the probability of getting a number greater than 4 When a fair die is thrown?

When you throw a fair dice you have an equal possibility of getting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. If you want to get a number greater than 4 this means you want 5 or 6: the probability is 2/6, which can be simplified to 1/3.

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 drawing an ace followed by a king?

If only two cards are drawn from a standard deck of cards, with the first card replaced before drawing the second, the answer is 0.005917 (approx). If the first card is not replaced, the probability increases to 0.006033.

How many ways to rearrange the letters of the word 'CHEESE'?

CHEESE

cheese has 6 letters in it. if you have a word with different letters, you do the factorial of the number of letters there are. but you can not do that in this word. since it has 3 E's, then you mut do 6!(factorial) divided by 3! then the answer would be 120

What is the probability of drawing a 9?

The answer depends on drawing a 9 from WHAT!

What is the application of normal distribution curve in quality control?

If the underlying distribution of the product is normally distributed then (and only then) the normal distribution can be used to identify specimens that are outside the acceptable range.

How many ways can a committeee of 6 be chosen from 5 teachers and 4 students if the committee must includes three teachers and three students?

There are 10 different sets of teachers which can be combined with 4 different sets of students, so 40 possible committees.

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

The probability of tossing a coin twice and getting tails both times is 1 in 4, or 25%.

If you have already tossed a coin and had it land on tails, the probability that it will land on tails again the next time you toss it is 50%.

How do you compute C11 5 the 11 and 5 are subscripts?

I'm assuming this is a combinations problem.

nCk = n!/(k!(n-k)!) is the general equation.

In your case n= 11 and k = 5

for 11!/(5!(11-5)!) = 11!/(5!*6!) = (11*10*9*8*7)/(5*4*3*2*1) = 462

Why can't 120 percent be a probability of an event?

The probability of an even must be a real number in the range [0, 1]. 120% is outside that range.

What does equally unlikely mean in probability?

Two events are equally unlikely if the probability that they do not happen is the same for each event. And, since the probability of an event happening and not happening must add to 1, equally unlikely events are also equally likely,

What best describes what the mishap probability component is?

the mishap probability component is an estimation that a hazard will result in a mishap
