What is the probability of having three girls and zero boys?

Assuming that having boys and girls are equally likely, then the probability is 1/8. * * * * * You also need to assume that the children's genders are independent. They are NOT and depend on the parents' ages and genes.


What is the probability of not rolling a 5?

Even if I assume that you mean probability and not probility, the question cannot be answered since there is no information as to what is being rolled. For a normal tetrahedral die, the answer is 1.

What is the probability of obtaining tails and a three?

Assume the given event depicts flipping a fair coin and rolling a fair die. The probability of obtaining a tail is ½, and the probability of obtaining a 3 in a die is 1/6. Then, the probability of encountering these events is (½)(1/6) = 1/12.


What does probillity mean in math?

I assume you mean "probability". That refers to how likely something is to happen. It is a number between zero and one; a probability of zero means (more or less) that something is impossible, while a probability of one means more or less that something is sure to happen. Similarly, a probability close to 1, for example 0.95, means that it is very likely that something happens - if you try it out often, the even will happen most of the time.

What is the probability the random variable will assume a value between 40 and 60?

It depends on what the random variable is, what its domain is, what its probability distribution function is. The probability that a randomly selected random variable has a value between 40 and 60 is probably quite close to zero.


A sample space consists of 10 separate events that are equally. what is the probability of each?

I believe you mean to say, equally probable. By stating they are separate events, I assume that they are independent and that there is a single unique outcome to each event that can be identified. Ok, then the chance of each event or outcome is 1/10.


Can a probability assume a negative value?

No. Probability is always represented as a positive ratio/fraction/percent.


If the total area of a dartboard is 20000 mm and the area of the bull's is 800 mm what is the probability of getting a bull's?

First of all an area is a measure in 2-dimensional space and so cannot be measured in mm which is a 1-dimensional measure. So the question is improper. However, assuming that you meant square mm, then the answer depends on the assumptions that you make.First, you need, to assume that the player hits the board! You are looking for the conditional probability: the probability of hitting the bull conditional on hitting the board.You could then assume that the player throws the dart in such a way that the probability of hitting a particular area is proportional to the size of that area, then the probability of hitting the bull is 0.04 or 4%.You could instead assume that the player aims for the bull but has little control over how close the dart gets so that any distance from the centre is equally likely. Then the probability of hitting the bull is 0.2 or 20%.


What is retrieving in volleyball?

I assume you mean receiving? That is when the other team has the ball and are serving it to your team. They are the serving team and you are the receiving team.
