What is the probability that a family of 2 children has exactly 2 boys?
Probability equals the number of ways an event can occur divided by the total number of events. The total number of events is (b=boy, g=girl) is bb, bg, gb, gg. The probability is then 1/4.
Are there relationships between geological and biological events?
yes there are. biological events would not have been able to occur if geological events didnt occur. for example, if there was no oxygen in the atmosphere (geological event) plants would not have been able to come to life (biological event).
What was the largest concert in New Zealand?
The largest "music event" to occur in New Zealand was Nambassa in 1979.
How many low tides occur each day in the Atlantic ocean?
The number of times it does.
Did the big bang occur in nothingness or did something trigger it?
No one knows. Standard astrophysics regards the Big Bang as a sponteous (i.e., uncaused) quantum event, but there is no proof either way.
What is the difference between a favourable outcome and a possible outcome?
Given a specific event, a favourable outcome is when that event occurs. A possible outcome is an event that can occur.
The what of event is the number of ways that the event can occur over the number of possible outcomes?
probability
What is the measure of how likely an event will occur?
Probability is the measure of how likely an event is. ... The probability of event A is the number of ways event A can occur divided by the total number of possible.
What is the formula for calculating probability?
short answer; it depends. Generally, you can say the probablility of an event having a specific outcome is the number of ways in which that outcome can occur divided by the total number of ways any outcome can occur. For example, the likelihood of drawing a heart from a standard 52 card deck is 13/52 because there are 13 possible results that have the desired outcome (IE 13 heart cards) and 52 total possible outcomes (52 possible cards).
What is the mathematical chance that an event will occur?
The number of possible outcomes that matches the event divided by the total number of possible outcomes is the probabilityof that event.
What is the ratio of the number of ways an event can occur to the number of possible outcomes?
The term is probability (theoretical probability), or how likely a given event is to occur.
What does unfavourable outcome mean?
It is an outcome of a trial in which the event of interest does not occur.
How do you determine the number of times an event will occur?
You cannot determine the number of times an event will occur - unless its probability is 0 or 1. In other cases, you can estimate the expected number of times it will occur. If the outcome of each trial is independent, then the expected number is the probability of the event occurring in one trial multiplied by the number of trials. If the outcome of each trial is not independent then you need to develop a model that takes account of the dependencies.
What word means the ratio of the number of ways an event can occur to the number of possible outcomes?
There is no single word. It is the "probability of that event" (four words).
The ratio of the number of ways an event can occur to the number possible outcomes?
number of outcomes divided by the number of ways of occurrence
What is the ratio of the number of ways an event can occur to the total number of possible outcomes?
If each of the ways is equally likely then it is the probability of the event but otherwise it is simply a ratio.
The ratio of the number of ways an event can occur to the number of ways the event cannot occur?
