What is independent events in probability concepts?
The occurrence of one event does not affect the occurrence of the other event. Take for example tossing a coin. The first toss has no affect on the outcome of the second toss, so these events are independent.
When the occurrence of one event does not influence the occurrence of the other?
They are independent events.
What events are such that the occurrence of one does not change the probability of other events?
Independent events.
What are the types of probability?
They are generally agreed to be theoretical and experimental probabilities. Probability is probability. The concept may be applied to any causal event which has more than one potential outcome.
What does it mean if the probability of an even number is 0?
If the probability of a event is zero, then the event cannot occur. Therefore, if the probability of an even number is zero, then the probability of an odd number is one.
What is the relationship between the probability of an event's occurrence and the probability that it will not occur?
% chance to occur + % chance to not occur = 100% Expressed in decimals, 40% chance to occur + 60% chance to not occur = 100%. .40 + .60 = 1.00 More detailed answer: === === Probability of event occurrence versus failure to occur First, probabilities are expressed as decimals or fractions with values between zero and one, with zero representing no possibility of an event's occurrence, and one representing the certainty of occurrence. For example, the probability of flipping a heads with one flip of a fair coin is 0.5 or 1/2. The probability of rolling a snake-eye with one roll of one fair die is 0.167 or 1/6. The probability of pulling the Ace of spades out of regular deck of shuffled cards (without the jokers) is 0.0192 or 1/52. The probability of pulling a heart -- any heart -- out of the same deck (assuming the Ace of spades was put back in) is 0.25 or 13/52. Remember, a probability must always be between 0 and 1. If you ever do a probability calculation and get a result greater than one, you screwed up. Second, the probability of any event's failure to occur is one minus the probability of the event's occurrence. So, if the probability of rolling a snake-eye with one fair die is 0.167, then the probability of NOT rolling a snake-eye is 1 - 0.167 = 0.833. (Or 1 - 1/6 = 5/6.) The probability of NOT drawing a heart from a deck of 52 cards is 1 - 0.25 = 0.75. (Or 1 - 1/4 = 3/4). == ==

The occurrence of one event does not affect the occurrence of the other event. Take for example tossing a coin. The first toss has no affect on the outcome of the second toss, so these events are independent.
What is an event that occurs because of a preceding event?
A dependent event. Or rather, a dependent event is one whose probability of occurrence is affected by previous events. For instance, drawing a card from a deck is affected by previous draws, if there's no replacement.
What are two events called when the occurrence of one event does not affect the occurrence of the other event?
Independent
What is a probability event that is impossible?
A probability event that is impossible is one that will not happen, i.e. its probability is zero.
When the occurrence of one event does not influence the occurrence of the other?
They are independent events.
Can you have a probability greater than one?
No. Probability ranges from zero, meaning the event will not happen, to one, meaning the event will happen.
What events are such that the occurrence of one does not change the probability of other events?
Independent events.
What are the types of probability?
They are generally agreed to be theoretical and experimental probabilities. Probability is probability. The concept may be applied to any causal event which has more than one potential outcome.
What event is it whose probability depends on one or more event?
A conditional event.
What does it mean if the probability of an even number is 0?
If the probability of a event is zero, then the event cannot occur. Therefore, if the probability of an even number is zero, then the probability of an odd number is one.
What must happen for the probability of an event to be 1?
Saying the probability of an event simply means that event is certain. e.g the probability that the sun will set today is1. so nothing must really happen but the event has to be a certain one.
