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 does the probability theory apply to statistics?

What is the probability of getting a sum of 5 or less at least once on 3 rolls of a pair of fair dice?

Pr(a sum ≤ 5 at least once in 3 rolls of 2 dice)

= 1 - Pr(a sum ≤ 5 never appears in 3 rolls of 2 dice)

= 1 - Pr(a sum ≤ 5 does not appear in a roll of 2 dice)3

= 1 - Pr(a sum > 5 appears in a roll of 2 dice)3 = 1 - (26/36)3

= 1 - (13/18)3 = 1 - 2197/5832 = 3635/5832 = 62.3% approx.

No, I'm not going to list them, because that would trip Dingo-Bot for profanity. But you knew that, didn't you?
