the probability is very small


Describe using word the probability of winning the the lottery?

The probability of winning a lottery depends on the lottery. The probability of winning the jackpot is extremely small, though the probability of winning something is not quite as tiny.


Should the numbers for the experimental probability be close to the theoretical probability?

Not necessarily. There may not even be a way to work out a theoretical probability. Furthermore, there is always a chance, however small, that the experimental probability is way off.


Everything is possible but not everything is probable?

From a probability standpoint this is not a true statement. Probability can be equal to zero for an event, indicating that it is impossible. The difference between 'impossible' and 'improbable' from a probability standpoint is that an impossible event has a probability of 0 while an improbable event has a very, very small probability.


When the 25 skiers are sent down from the top of Big Bunny Slope they are sent one at a time. The probability that a random new skier in the group will fall at Big Bend is 0.3. What is the probability?

There is a limited length of question that can be asked. Your question is missing what probability it is you actually want. Please edit your question to include what you are wanting to know - if necessary abbreviate the details of the question to allow more length for the actual question, eg: 25 skiers are sent down a slope singly. the probability of each skier falling on the way is 0.3. What is the probability that...

What is the probability 10?

Probability = 10 is a very serious mistake since the probability of any event can never be greater than 1: so a probability of 10 is obviously a big error.

How is probability related to statistics?

Probability is related to statistics in a direct manner. When one is doing a research for statistics, probability has to be used especially in sampling a small region.

Do you think more accidents occur in a big city or a small town?

I think accidentas occur in big cities rather than a small town. And it would affect the rate because not many people in big cities drive nor walk.The probability of accidents increases as the number of people and cars increases. So a big city would have more chances for accidents to happen.

What is the answer of probability of 2?

The answer is that you have made a very serious mistake since the probability of any event can never be greater than 1: so a probability of 2 is obviously a big error.

What is the defition of probability?

Probability is the likelihood that the desired outcome would happen in a set situation. Small amounts of tests may show a skewed number differing from the probability but as more simulations are ran the actual result will get closer and closer to the probability.
