How are ratio and probability the same?
A ratio is a comparison of the relative size of two different things. Probability is the change that something will (or will not) occur. Probability can be expressed as a ratio of Yes to No (or, "will occur" to "won't occur"). That is, Probability is the relative size of Yes to No. So, if something is said to have a 60% Probability of occurring, what that is indicating is that, out of 100 tries, 60 will be the outcome indicated. While probability is usually expressed as a percentage, it is entirely possible to express it as a ratio. In the aforementioned example, a 60% Probability of occurrence could also be said to be a 60:40 (or, reduced, 3:2) ratio in favor of happening.
What are real life examples of probability?
# of successes = probability or change total
Can experimental probability change?
Yes. Each repeat of the trial is likely to alter the probability.
What is the difference between ratio and probability?
A ratio tends to be a fix number that identifies an amount of one part that makes an amount of a secondary part. Where as a probability can change if the input changes. Example: 3:5 says that for every 3 parts there will be 5 parts of something else, this ratio cannot change unless we add another factor. However, a probably can change based solely on rolling of a dice again.
What is the probability of an asteroid hitting earth?
1 percent change out of 100

Likelihood that something will happen?
It depends on what "something" you are talking about. If it is something bad- like another terrorist attack in a couple of years then the chances of that something happening is very likely. If it is something good like no bad things in the world then that is VERY unlikely. Anything can happen to anyone anywhere so you never really know what is going to happen no matter how likely or unlikely it is..........or probability

Where in Canada is climate change occurring the most?
The climate change is occurring somewhere in the artic and near mountain pine beetle, British columbia
Does probability of chance change as options are limited?
Yes.
When wood is burned heat ash and smoke are produced describe this reaction and explain what type of change is occurring?
The reaction of the wood burning is Oxidation as wood combines with air, the type of change that is occurring is a chemical change.

How do you figure out the change in temperature if there is no change happening?
If there is no change occurring, and there are no data relating to past trends, there is no change to calculate - it is a constant.
What does friction occurring at an interface always produce?
chemical change

What are the three signs that a chemical change is occurring?
solid,liquid,or gas
