You roll two number cubes what is the probability that you roll a 1 first and a 2 second?
Since there are 6 sides on every die that are equally likely to be rolled, the probability of rolling any given side once is exactly 1/6. The 2 events or the first and second dice roll are independent (the outcome of one does not influence the other) so to find the probability of both occurring you just multiply the probability of each event. Since each event has a 1/6 probability of occurring as stated before, The entire event has a probability of 1/6*1/6 or 1/36, which is approximately 2.78%.
How do you find experimental-probability?
To find the experimental probability of an event you carry out an experiment or trial a very large number of times. The experimental probability is the proportion of these in which the event occurs.
What is the equation of probability?
The probability of an event occurring can be found by dividing the number of favorable outcomes (what you want to happen) by the number of possible outcomes number of favorable outcomes probability = _________________________ number of possible outcomes
What is the ratio of the number of times an event occurs to the total number of trials?
experimental probability
What is a probability of an event?
Lets first start by defining some terms:Probability (P) in statistics is defined as the chance of an event occurring.Probability experiment is a chance process that leads to results called outcomes.An outcome is the result of a single trial of a probability experiment.A sample set is the set of all possible outcomes of a probability experiment.An event consists of a set of outcomes of a probability experiment. An event can be one outcome or more than one outcome. The event can be anything from flipping a coin, to rolling a die, to picking a card.The probability of any event (E) is:(# of outcomes in E) / (total # of outcomes in sample space)For example: Find the probability a die is rolled and you get a 4?We know that there are 6 possibilities when rolling a die. We can either rolled a 1, or a 2, or a 3, or a 4, or a 5, or a 6.Using the equation above:P(rolling a 4)= 1/6The event in this case is rolling a 4.
