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?
The likelihood that something will happen refers to the probability or chance of that event occurring. It is often quantified on a scale from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain). The higher the likelihood, the greater the probability of the event occurring.

What is the meaning of the word vicissitude?
"Vicissitude" refers to a change or variation occurring in the course of something. It often implies unexpected changes or fluctuation in circumstances.
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 is prior classical probability?
When you throw a die, there are six possibilities. The probability of a number from 1 to 6 is 1/6. This is classical probability. Compare this with empirical probability. If you throw a die 100 times and obtain 30 sixes, the probability of obtaining a 6 is 30/100 or 0.3. Empirical probabilities change whereas classical probability doesn't.
