the measure of how likely an event is to occur Probability refers to the extent to which a given event is likely to appear. It is usually measured by the ratio of the favorable cases to the whole number of cases possible.

What is theoretical probaility?

The probability that a certain outcome will occur which is determined through reasoning or calculation.


What does and mean in probability?

It means multiply, Probaility of A and B means probability of A multiplied by probability of B.


If a family has 4 boys and is about to have it 5th child what is the probaility that it will be a girl?

50% - 50% chance either way.

What is the theoretical probaility of have a R in your name?

The answer depends on the distribution of names and - depending on the question - surnames across the population of interest. There will be variations between different cultures.

What is the probaility of arolling a 6 three times in a row with one dice?

1/6·1/6·1/6=(1·1·1)/(6·6·6)=1/216 It should be one DIE, not one DICE. The multiplication sign is shift-option-9.


If a coin and a dice is tossed what is the probaility of getting a heads and six?

Heads comes up half the time, sis one time in six tosses so the combined odds of heads and six is 1/2 x 1/6 = 1/12, one time in 12.


What is the probability of getting three or more heads when four coins are flipped?

Number of possible outcomes with 4 coins = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16.Number of successes = 2. (Three heads or four heads)Probaility of success = 2/16 = 1/8 = 12.5 percent


Suppose X is the number spun on a spinner with the numbers 1 2 3 and 4 on it Suppose the probaility of a 1 is 0.2 of a 2 is 0.2 and of a 3 is 0.2 What is the probability that X is 4?

Probabilities always add up to 1. (There must be 'an' outcome). If the only possible options are 1, 2, 3 and 4 and if the first three are 0.2 each - that adds up to 0.6 - so the probability of X being 4 is 0.4. This might imply that the spinner has five sides and that two of them are marked with a 4.
