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 are the odds of a child having the same birthday as the father?
Well quite alot of people have their sons birthdays on similar days (1-2 difference) and I wuould say the chances are about 50/50 but that's just my opinion.:)
Why should warrants specify in advance all of the evidence there is probable cause to seize?
Because, without probable cause, any evidence found is inadmissible. You can't go in looking for a gun, for instance, and find a knife, and subsequently use that to convict.
What is the probality of not getting 1 out of 2 dice?
I'm assuming your question is the same as this: "If 2 dice are rolled, what is the probability of not getting 1 on either die?"
To answer this question, we need to look at what IS possible. If I'm 2 rolling normal, fair dice, then I have equal probability of getting each of the numbers 1-6 on either die. If I'm trying to NOT get 1, then I want to get any of the numbers 2-6 on both dice. This gives me 10 desired outcomes (5 numbers * 2 dice) out of 12 possible outcomes (6 numbers * 2 dice), so the probability is 10/12, which simplifies to 5/6.
What is the probability of getting an even number if the die is rolled once?
50%
A 6-sided die has 6 possible numbers that you can roll. 3 of those are even (2,4,6)
That means three of the six possible outcomes will be positive. 3 divided by six is 50%
What happens in intussusception?
In intussusception, the bowel telescopes into itself like a radio antenna folding up.
When a single card is drawn from a shuffled deck of 52 cards what are the odds against getting a 9?
There are four nines in the deck of fifty two cards. Therefore your odds are 4 out of fifty two, or one out of thirteen. (4/52 = 1/13) chances of drawing a nine. The odds, then, of not drawing a nine is 48/52, or 12/13, or about 0.9231.
What is a forecast or prediction of the probable course and outcome of a disorder?
It is called the prognosis.
What is the probability of drawing 2 aces and 3 spades?
Hey,
to start,, i am not a math guy at all, i have a couple years of philosophy and psych but nothing to be proud of,, just a drunk (little too much drugs) guy whose bored on the internet and now really wants someone to finish what ive got so far.
So theres 3 possible outcomes when dealing the cards. "theres more than 3 looking at the suites, but only 3 as far as the probabilities go, take a second look if u dont know what i mean,,haha also if you dont u cant help me :( "
A A S S S
26/52* 25/51* 13/50* 12/49* 11/48 = .0035
A S A S S
26/52* 25/51* 24/50* 12/49* 11/48 = .0066
S S A A S
26/52* 25/51* 24/50* 23/49* 11/48 =.0127
1/4 of spade
1/4 of Ace
now you would look at scenario 3 and say that the prob of getting s,s,a is already--like another popular wikianswer shows,,
prob of #3 (ssa)
(1/4) (4/17) (13/50), =0.0153
and would already been thrown off..
but...u have to remember we have no specific order, which makes this question so difficult (for me at least)
the probability of the 3rd and 4th card being either a spade or heart is where its tough for me,
also that im doing this using my stickies and calculator on my macbook at 3am drunk would make it hard, was just interested in this question because i really enjoy poker.
,,so that leaves us at the question,, how do we take the prob of the 3rd and 4th card being either heart or spade (ignoring the reacquiring probabilities, and understanding theres only 3 outcomes) and make a new probability. Even if i were to find those probs how do i inculde them into the 3 other probs i have on the scenarios.
Ill check this again, but if your wicked with your numbers could you please also email the solution to me ryen_00 at hotmail.com
...sorry to the question asker that i have no number for ya,,, i prob could have bullshitted an answer but i wanna know the real one now.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WOKE UP SOBER,, I THINK ITS JUST AS EASY AS ADDING THE 3 POSSIBLE CASES TOGETHER
.0035+.0066+.0127= .0228
OR approx: 1/44
In how many different orders can 4 people be arranged?
There are 24 ways to put 4 people (or 4 units) in order.
To find how many, you can use 4! (factorial) = 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
This holds true for any total : just multiply until you reach one.
What are the odds of an event occurring if the probability is five over twelve?
If the probability is 5/12 then that is an acceptable answer in itself however it is also the same thing as 5 divided by twelve or .4167
Does riding a motorcycle help to end your period faster?
Riding a motorcycle doesn't help to end your period faster.
What will the next three numbers be in the lottery tonight?
301 i know because i can see the future i predicted the rise of hitler and osama bin laden
If you roll a die 10 times what's the probability of getting a 4 two times?
1/6x1/6 (the 4's) x(5/6x8) (the other 8) =1/36x(5/6x8)
=1/36x(5/6x8/1)
=1/36x40/6
=40/216
=10/59
How many peoples birthday is December 8?
Probably well over 10 million who are alive today. A lot more if you include people from history.
The probability of getting a head the next time is still one out of two, so the combined probability is one quarter. Similarly, one eighth is the probability of getting three in a row; but the pattern does not end there, the probability of getting a tails the next time is STILL one in two, so that is a one in sixteen chance of that run, the probability of the entire sequence is therefore one in thirty-two.
What test to use for non-normal distribution with data that's not nominal?
It depends on what you want to test. Goodnesss of fit or some null hypothesis?
Are there more people with even or odd number birthdays?
Of course this is impossible to tell exactly.
But assuming that every day the same amount of children are born (every day, every month, every season etc. is as romantic as the other) the answer will be odd since there are 7 out of 12 months with 31 days (16 odd and 15 even) and every 4 years there's a 29th of February (8 out of 12 months with more odd than even days that year)
How do you find the Geometric Probability of something?
it is actually very easy what you do is find the area of both shapes then if your problem is like find the chances of hitting the shaded area you do area of shaded divided by the total area of the whole object then multiply that by 100
