What is the probability of rolling a 4 on a number cube and flipping tails on a coin?

The probability of rolling any number on a cube can be represented by the formula: X / the number of variables. Since any cube has 6 sides, the probability of rolling any of the numbers 1 through 6 on the cube, can be represented by the formula: X = 1 / 6 = 16.66% The odds or probability of flipping a coin and landing it on either side can be represented by X = the requested result / the number of variables = 1 /2 = 50% Therefore, given the two questions of probability, there is a much greater chance of landing a coin on "tails" rather than rolling a "4".


A die is thrown Fine the probability that the dots on the top are even numbers or odd numbers?

in the equation system f/d = p where f is the number of sides of the rolled polyhedron which contain a number of spots that can be represented by a positive integer not divisible by 2 and d represents the total number of faces of the polyhedron which can, in the rest position, face upward, the variable p represents the probability of rolling an odd number. from this it can also be derived that the probability p of rolling an even number can be represented by (d-f)/d.


Why is the probability of an event always a number between 0 and 1?

The probability of an event is defined as the ratio of favourable outcomes to total outcomes. In the case of discrete distributions these will be represented by numbers, while for continuous distribution they will be measured as areas. In either case, the first measure is non-negative and the second is positive and so the probability is greater than 0. Also, the number of favourable outcomes cannot be greater than the total so the probability must be at most 1.


What does it mean to find the compliment of the probability of an event?

The complement (not compliment) of the probability of event A is 1 minus the probability of A: that is, it is the probability of A not happening or "not-A" happening.The complement (not compliment) of the probability of event A is 1 minus the probability of A: that is, it is the probability of A not happening or "not-A" happening.The complement (not compliment) of the probability of event A is 1 minus the probability of A: that is, it is the probability of A not happening or "not-A" happening.The complement (not compliment) of the probability of event A is 1 minus the probability of A: that is, it is the probability of A not happening or "not-A" happening.
