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.
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 event is it whose probability depends on one or more event?
A conditional event.
When two events are independent the probability that one event occurs in no way affects the probability of the other event occurring true or false?
It is true.
How can a probability be estimated?
One way to estimate the probability of an event is to use a theoretical model to compare the relative likelihood of the event compared to all possible outcomes.
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.
What is an event with a probability greater then 0 but less than half?
There are many such events. The probability of throwing a 1 or 2 on one roll of a die, for example.
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 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 does probability of zero mean?
Probability of zero means that there is no chance that the event will happen. First example that comes to mind: What is the probability of rolling a 7 on one roll of a standard six-sided die. Well you can't, so the probability of this happening is zero.
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.
When two events are independent the probability that one event occurs in no way affects the probability of the other event occurring true or false?
It is true.
What is the complement of one third and it's probability?
"one third" is not an event and so cannot have complement nor a probability.
Is there any event with probability one but no occurrence?
Any known future event.
What Event whose probability depends on one or more independent events is a?
dependent event
What is the event of one outcome happening and that outcome not happening?
It is an impossible event - which has probability zero.
