What is the probability of obtaining tails or a five (Enter the probability as a fraction.)?
this isn giong to be my answerP(tails and 5) = 1
P(tails or 1) = 2
What are the possible outcomes when honesty is not practiced during experimentation?
It depends on the country and societal norms of the researcher as well as the seriousness of the offense. Generally, dishonesty in the laboratory is not a crime and so is not punished in this way. However, if for instance the research was done for medical purposes (studying the effects of a medicine for instance) and the bad research results in deaths, the consequences can be quite serious (in the US, this would still not be taken up by a criminal court of law, but rather a civil lawsuit). More often though, such dishonesty just results in the researcher getting a very poor reputation, and perhaps the loss of his/her job and loss of sources of funding for research.
Why is the probability of rolling a sum of 2 the same as the probability of rolling a sum of 12?
Because each can occur in only one case. If you roll two, 6-sided dice the only way to get a sum of 2 is when they are BOTH 1's. The only way to get a sum of 12 is when they are both 6's. Thus these are the two least likely (most extreme) sums. For example there are two ways to get a sum of 3 (a 1 on one and a 2 on the other OR the reverse) or 11 (a 5 on one and a 6 on the other OR the reverse). There are even more ways to get 4 (1-3,3-1,2-2)...
Suppose you roll two dice find the probability of not rolling a multiple of 2?
The result is not a multiple of two if the sum is odd
That is, if one die is odd and the other is even
That is, die 1 is odd and die 2 even OR die 1 is even and die 2 is odd.
There are 18 such combinations
So 18 out of a total of 36 = 18/36 = 1/2
So the probability is 0.5 or 50%
How do you get from a B to an A fast in math?
Pay attention in class, study, and do your homework. There is no fast solution.
Do lots and lots and lots of examples so you don't have to think twice about how to solve simultaneous equations or whatever the problem is. Practice practice practice practice
Also try to UNDERSTAND what is going on. If you memorize formulas, you will soon forget them. If you understand you will remember and be able to generalize.
Ask questions, look things up, do whatever you need to gain intuition about the math.
DO NOT just blindly memorize it.
How do you use binomial probability to assess if an outbreak of an illness has occurred or not?
If the illness is infectious then you cannot use the binomial distribution because the incidences of illness are no longer independent events, so that the assumptions required for the binomial distribution are not satisfied.
Suppose the illness is not infectious and the "normal" rate of illnesses is p. Then in a group of size n, the number of units suffering has a B(n, p) distribution. You can then determine a critical region at an appropriate level of significance and test the number of victims against that.
What is the probrabillity of rolling a composite number on one toss of a number cube?
1 is special.
2, 3 and 5 are primes.
4 and 6 are composite numbers.
So, the prob. is 2 out of 6 - which is 2/6 = 0,33333 = 33,3 %
What is a commutative property of addition?
A group of quantities connected by operators gives the same result whatever the order of the quantities involved.
1 + 2 = 2 + 1
How much more likely is a car crash to happen on wet roads?
50/50 really if you think about it depends on the driver.
What is the probability that someone lives if they have a 10 percent chance of dying in 10 years?
The probability of someone living for ten years is 90%.
Why must there be a probable cause before a warrant is issued?
For the "probable cause" that a criminal event has, or is about to occur, and by serving the warrant (search or arrest) the crime can be solved or prevented.
Probable Cause (partial definition): " . . is more than mere suspicion but less than the amount of evidence required for conviction."
What is the probability of rolling a 1 or a 5 on two dice?
It is 1 - Prob(not rolling a 1 nor a 5 on either die)
(4/6)2 = (2/3)2 = 4/9 = 0.444... recurring.
Why Central Limit Theorem does not work for sample max?
Because other than in a degenerate case, the maximum of a set of observations is not at its centre! And the theorem concerns the distribution of estimates of the central value - as the name might suggest!
Probability of die being greater then 0?
assuming that it is a regular die with numbers 1-6 on them the probability is 1
What phase includes determining what you would do in the event a disaster should occur?
Your Q begins "What a phase," which is unclear; did you mean "What phrase..."?
I've included a couple of links. Statistical theory can never tell you how many samples you must take, all it can tell you the expected error that your sample should have given the variability of the data.
Worked in reverse, you provide an expected error and the variability of the data, and statistical theory can tell you the corresponding sample size.
The calculation methodology is given on the related links.
