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 queen in the cards?

There are 4 Queens in a pack of 52 playing cards.

What is the probability of getting one head and 3 tails on 4 coins?

My best thing Is to use a dime , that's the best luck you can get ... TRUST me , there Is NO Doubt (: & Throw the dime up in the air 4 times

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From Rafaelrz.

The probability of getting one head and 3 tails on a 4 coin toss is;

4C3 x (1/2)4 = 4!/[3!(4-3)!] x [1/2]4 = 0.25 or 25%

When it comes to comparing data from different distributions what is the benefit of normal standard distribution?

There may or may not be a benefit: it depends on the underlying distributions. Using the standard normal distribution, whatever the circumstances is naive and irresponsible. Also, it depends on what parameter you are testing for.

For comparing whether or not two distributions are the same, tests such as the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test or the Chi-Square goodness of fit test are often better. For testing the equality of variance, an F-test may be better.

What is the probability of finding a job?

The answer depends on a whole list of variables that are not specified. Some of these are:

  • the applicant's qualifications/skills;
  • the relevance of those skills to available jobs;
  • the effort made to find a job;
  • the candidate's ability to sell himself/herself to a prospective employer;
  • the state of the local economy, including the outlook.

How do you flip a coin so it always lands on tails?

Put something heavy but small enough to fit on the heads side and throw it high up in the air so that it has time for the heads side to face downward and the tails side upward.

What is the probability of getting a black 4 out of a 52 deck of cards?

If you pick enough cards, without replacement, the probability is 1.

The probability for a single random draw is 1/26.

How many possible outcomes are there if you flip a penny 5 times?

If you disregard the sequence of outcomes, there are 6 possible outcomes:

0H 5T

1H 4T

2H 3T

3H 2T

4H 1T and

5H 0T

If not, there are 25 = 32 outcomes: TTTTT, TTTTH, TTTHT etc.

What is the probability of a family with 6 kids having fewer boys than girls?

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 0.52, the required probability is 0.3126.

What is the z-score for 45.00?

There is insufficient information in the question to properly answer it. In order to compute a Z score from a raw score, you need the mean and the the standard deviation, neither of which was given. Please restate the question.

What is the probability of getting more than 2 when rolling a dice?

There are 36 permutations of two dice. Only one of them has a sum of two. Then probability, then, of rolling a sum of more than two is 35 in 36, or about 0.9722.

How many ways can the letters in prealgebra can arranged?

The number of permutations of the letters in PREALGEBRA is the same as the number of permutations of 10 things taken 10 at a time, which is 3,628,800. However, since the letters R, E, and A, are repeated, R=2, E=2, A=2, you must divide that by 2, and 2, and 2 (for a product of 8) to determine the number of distinctpermutations, which is 453,600.

What is the probability of getting a 4 or a club?

Since there are four 4's in the deck, and 13 club's, one of which is a four, the probability of getting a 4 or a club in a standard 52 card deck is (4 + 13 - 1) in 52, or 16 in 52, or 4 in 13, or about 0.3077.

What is the probability that a machine with 7 components that function independently with a failure rate of 2 what is the probability that at least 4 failed?

probability of a machine component failing = 2/7

P(at least 4 failed) = P( 4 failed)+P(5 failed) +P(6 failed)+P(7 failed)

Using binomial probability:

P(4 failed ) =7C4 (2/7)^4 ((5/7)^3 = 0.084987

P(5 failed) = 7C5 (2/7)^5 (5/7)^2 = 0.020395

P(6 failed ) = 7C6 (2/7)^6 (5/7) = 0.002719

P(7 failed) = (2/7)^7 = 0.000155

Adding, P(at least 4 failures) = 0.108257

Why is nov 5th many peoples birthday?

Because there is billions of people, and only 365 days for their birthdays to be spread over.

What is the probability of half the students in our class will be absent tomorrow?

Probably a 1% chance, haha. You shouldnt expect it if there wasn't a huge incident or sickness going around. Even if there IS a disease or flu, the most people missing in your class should be around 1-45%.

So dont get ur hopes up ;D

What are theoretical and expierimental probability?

Theoretical probability is the probability of something occurring when the math is done out on paper or 'in theory' such as the chance of rolling a six sided dice and getting a 2 is 1/6. Experimental probability is what actually occurs during an experiment trying to determine the probability of something. If a six sided dice is rolled ten times and the results are as follows 5,2,6,2,5,3,1,4,6,1 then the probability of rolling a 2 is 1/3. The law of large numbers states the more a probability experiment is preformed the closer to the theoretical probability the results will be.

What can you measure that will give you a graph of normal distribution?

A pedantic answer would be nothing!

The number of heads from repeated tosses of a fair coin will give an

approximately normal distribution. But if the distribution is truly normal then

there is an infinitesimally small, but non-zero, probability of getting a negative

number of heads.

Similarly, the heights of adult males, for example, is usually assumed to be

normally distributed. Again the distribution should have a very, very tiny - but

non-zero - probability of an adult male having a negative height! Somehow I

don't think so!

Hence the mathematically accurate answer is nothing.

The coin-tossing experiment will generate a very good approximation of a Normal

distribution when the coin is fair, as will men's heights. An even better

approximation will be obtained if you take lots of random samples of 10 men and

observe the sums or means of their heights. Women's heights, their masses,

IQs (whatever that is supposed to measure), will all be normal.

The question that has not been adequately researched is whether it is the IQ

of all people that is normal, or of only normal people.

What is the probability of rolling a 8 on a dice?

rolling 8 on a 6 sided dice? in a single roll? approximately 0.

on a 12 sided dice? one in 12.

two six sided dice? 5/36

What is the probability of getting a sum less than five when rolling dice?

There are 36 permutations of two dice. Of these, 6 have a sum less than five, 1+1, 1+2, 1+3, 2+1, 2+2, and 3+1. The probability, then, of rolling a sum less than five on two dice is 6 in 36, or 1 in 6, or about 0.1667.

Who would have the most genetic similarities identical twins or fraternal twins?

Identical twins would have the most genetic similarities, since they share the same original 46 chromosomes.

What is the expiremental probability of rolling a one with two dice?

There are 2 possible answers. If you meant is either one of the dice land on a 1,

then the answer is 1/3. If you meant if they both ADD UP to 1, then it is impossible

and the answer is 0.

===========================================

The first answer accurately states the theoretical probabilities. But the question

clearly specifies "the experimental probability". That number is the result of an

experiment which, as far as we know, has not yet been perfrormed.

Also, in the parlance of frequent rollers, "rolling a (x)" means a roll of two dice

after which the sum of the spots showing on the top surfaces of both is (x).

How many people would you invite to a birthday party?

If you are poor, 10 - If you are wealthy, 50. (including me)
