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

Is it significant to get a twelve when a pair of dice is rolled with probability of less than or equal to five tenth?
The probability to get a 12, with two dice, is 1/36.
What does a P-value of 0.05 mean with respect to the probability of something happening out of 100 chances?
It means that there are at most five times in which the sought event occurs.It means that there are at most five times in which the sought event occurs.It means that there are at most five times in which the sought event occurs.It means that there are at most five times in which the sought event occurs.
When does the probability of an event equals one?
The probability of an event is one when the event is absolutely certain to happen. It is more useful to understand why the sum of probabilities of an event adds up to one. If you have an event with a probability of p, then the probability of the event not occurring is 1 - p. This is because p plus (1 - p) is 1. That seems trivial, but consider a realistic example... Lets say you are subject to random drug testing, and that you are in a 100% pool such as might be mandated by 10CFR26, "Fitness for Duty in a Commericial Nuclear Power Plant". What is the probability that you will be chosen at least once in a year? Well, if sampling occurs five days a week, then there are 260 samples per year. The probability of being chosen in one sample is 1 in 260, or 0.003846. That means the probability of not being chosen is 259 in 260, or 0.9962. The probability, then, of not being chosen in one year is (259 in 260) raised to the 260th power, or 0.3672, which is about 95 in 260. Invert once again, and you see that the probability of being chosen at least one time in a year is 165 in 260, or 0.6328.
If you roll two dice what is the probability of the event that you roll a total of five on the two dice?
uummm!!!! The probability would maybe close to 5 or 4. * * * * * The answer is clearly incorrect because the probability of an event cannot be greater than 1. The actual probability, assuming the dice are fair, is 4/36 = 1/9 = 11.11...%
When rolling a sixsided die a possible event is rolling a sum which is a multiple of 5 What is the probability of this event?
The probability of rolling a multiple of five on a standard die is 1 in 6, or about 0.1667.The probability of rolling a 10, 15, or higher is zero, because the question implied only one die.
If an event has a 1 in 4 chance of occurring what is the probability of it happening to one individual in a sample of five?
If we assume that the probability of an event occurring is 1 in 4 and that the event occurs to each individual independently, then the probability of the event occurring to one individual is 0.3955. In order to find this probability, we can make a random variable X which follows a Binomial distribution with 5 trials and probability of success 0.25. This makes sense because each trial is independent, the probability of success stays constant for each trial, and there are only two outcomes for each trial. Now you can find the probability by plugging into the probability mass function of the binomial distribution.
What is the probability that the birthdays of five persons chosen at random will fall in twelve different calendar months?
The probability that the birthdays of five persons chosen at random will fall in twelve different calender months is zero. You would need at least twelve persons to have a non zero probability.

What is the prbability of rolling a five on one die three times in a row?
The chance is one in 216 (6^-3).The probability of rolling a five once is 1/6. Rolling a five again, on the same die or another, will still have a 1/6 chance. Therefore, the probability of the event occurring twice is 1/36 (1/6^2). Three times has a probability of 1/216 (1/6^3), and so on. It does not matter what die is used, as long as it has six sides.The probability p of rolling a number x times consecutively on an s sided die isp=s^-x

What is the probability of obtaining exactly four tails in five flips of a coin if at least three are tails?
If at least three flips are tails, there are two scenarios where we can obtain exactly four tails in five flips. Either the first four flips are tails and the last flip is heads, or the first flip is heads and the next four flips are tails. Each scenario has a probability of 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/32. Therefore, the probability of obtaining exactly four tails in five flips if at least three are tails is 1/32 + 1/32 = 1/16.
