What is the probability of getting tails and selecting a 3 if you toss a coin and randomly select a number?

There are infinitely many numbers and so the probability of the second event is 0. As a result the overall probability is 0.


If you roll two die what is the probability that one die will roll a one and the second die will roll a two?

Assuming you are talking about fair, six-sided dice, then the probability of rolling a 1 on the first roll in 1/6, and the probability of rolling a 2 on the second roll is 1/6. Putting these together, the probability of rolling 1 on the first die and 2 on the second die is 1/36. If you do not care about the order, then you could roll 1,2 or 2,1; in this case the probability would be 2/36, or 1/18.


What is the probability of throwing one dice twice and getting a 1 both times?

The probability of throwing a dice an getting a 1 is 1/6. The probability of gettinga 1 the second time is 1/6. The probability of both events, getting a 1 the firsttime and a 1 the second time is; P(1,1) =(1/6)∙(1/6) =1/36 =0.02777... ~ 2.8%


Are these events dependent or independent You draw a card replace it then draw another card?

They are independent, because the probability of the first event does not affect the probability of the second event.

Do runners in preliminary track and field events get medals?

No, preliminary track and field events act as a qualifying round for final rounds in the same event. Some events will even have multiple preliminary rounds. For example, at the Olympic 400 meter dash, there is first a preliminary round of 7 heats, from which the top three finishers in each heat automatically advance, then the 3 fastest times overall (for a total of 24 runners). Then there is a semifinal round, where the runners will race again in 3 heats with the top 2 runners automatically advancing, followed by the 2 fastest overall times (for a total of 8 runners). Then the final heat is run, with the top three finishers receiving medals, regardless of how they performed in previous rounds.

What is the theoretical probability that tossing 3 coins will all match?

The probability that the second coin matches the first is 0.5 .The probability that the third coin matches the first is 0.5 .The probability that the second and third coins both match the first is (0.5 x 0.5) = 0.25 = 25%


What is independent probability?

An independent probability is a probability that is not based on any other event.An example of an independent probability is a coin toss. Each toss is independent, i.e. not related to, any prior coin toss.An example of a dependent probability is the probability of drawing a second Ace from a deck of cards. The probability of the second Ace is dependent on whether or not a first Ace was drawn or not. (You can generalize this to any two cards because the sample space for the first card is 52, while the sample space for the second card is 51.)


Principle of probabilities?
