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 does data distribution mean?

It is the set of values that a variable can take together with the probability or frequency distribution for those values.

What is the probability of getting a heart out of a pack of cards?

If the pick is completely random, the deck is a standard deck and there are no jokers or any other cards other than the standard 52, the probability is 1/4

What is the probability of an observation being above the mean?

For a continuous variable it is 0.5 but for a discrete variable the answer depends on the probability of the variable taking the mean value. It is half of the rest of the probability.

If the discrete variable X has mean m and Prob(X = m) is p

then Prob(X > m) = (1 - p)/2.

What is the probabilty of drawing a face card that has a diamond?

3/52

Assuming you're randomly drawing from a usual deck 52 unique cards. Jack Queen King are the face cards.

What is the probability of picking a month that starts with J given that it ends in y?

The months that end in y are January, February, May, and July. Two of those four start with J. So 2/4=.5 is the answer.

What is the probability that the sum of the dice is odd and both dice show the number 3?

The probability is 0. If both dice show the number 3 then the sum is 6 which is not odd.

If the probability that an event will happen is .25 or 25 percent what is the probability that it will not happen?

The total probability of something happening plus the probability of that same thing not happening is 1, or 100 %

→ probability of not happening = 1 - 0.25 = 0.75 or 100 % - 25 % = 75 %

What is the probability of choosing a prime number?

Although there are infinitely many primes, they become rarer and rarer so that as the number of numbers increases, the probability that picking one of them at random is a prime number tends to zero*.

In the first 10 numbers there are 4 primes, so the probability of picking one is 4/10 = 2/5 = 0.4

In the first 100 numbers there are 26 primes, so the probability of picking one is 25/100 = 1/4 = 0.25

In the first 1,000 numbers there are 169 primes, so the probability of picking one is 168/1000 = 0.168

In the first 10,000 numbers there are 1,229 primes, so the probability of picking one is 0.1229

In the first 100,000 numbers there are 9592 primes, so the probability of picking one is 0.09592

In the first 1,000,000 numbers there are 78,498 primes, so the probability of picking one is 0.078498

In the first 10,000,000 numbers there are 664,579 primes, so the probability of picking one is 0.0664579

* Given any small value ε less than 1 and greater than 0, it is possible to find a number n such that the probability of picking a prime at random from the numbers 1-n is less than the given small value ε.

What is the probability that both cards are spades?

The answer will depend on:

  • whether the cards are drawn at random and
  • whether or not the first card is replaced before drawing the second.

It also depends on how many times the experiment - of drawing two cards - is repeated. If repeated a sufficient number of times the probability will be so close to 1 as to make no difference from a certainty.

What is the probability to take a Jack in 52 cards?

1:13

or 4:52

as four suits and one jack in each suit
