How do you give the probability of a sum?

You find the event space for the random variable that is the required sum and then calculate the probabilities of each favourable outcome. In the simplest case it is a convolution of the probability distribution functions.


If an event has a 1 in 4 chance of occurring what is the probability of it happening to one individual in a sample of five?

If we assume that the probability of an event occurring is 1 in 4 and that the event occurs to each individual independently, then the probability of the event occurring to one individual is 0.3955. In order to find this probability, we can make a random variable X which follows a Binomial distribution with 5 trials and probability of success 0.25. This makes sense because each trial is independent, the probability of success stays constant for each trial, and there are only two outcomes for each trial. Now you can find the probability by plugging into the probability mass function of the binomial distribution.


What is the probability of an event b that impossible?

The probability of an impossible event is 0.The probability of an impossible event is 0.The probability of an impossible event is 0.The probability of an impossible event is 0.


Define p-value vs - z score?

The p-value is the probability of any event or the level of significance for any statistical test. The z-score is a transformation applied to a Random Variable with any Normal distribution to the Standard Normal distribution.


How do you find the probability of the complement of an event?

The probability of the complement of an event, i.e. of the event not happening, is 1 minus the probability of the event.
