What is the probability of throwing a 5 on a dice?

1 in 6. U would of thought it was 5/6 but there aren't five 5s on a dice. There's only1.


What year was probability discovered?

Probability is a concept that cannot be "discovered." The concept of probability is ingrained in any complex organism's thought process through evolution and has been ever since complex thought evolved. To survive, animals are constantly taking statistics, weighing odds, figuring out what course of action will lead to survival. For example, an owl might hunt at night and decide to target a certain area of hunting ground, deciding that it is more probable that prey might be found in that area. However, as a formal category of mathematics, theories regarding probabilities can be developed or "discovered." See the related question below.


What is the probability of the existence of aliens?

Well the universe in infinitely large with plenty of other solar systems, so to believe that life started on some other planet than ours somewhere out there isn't wrong. Whether they are more advanced then us is another thought.


What is the probability to giving birth to 5 girls in a row?

Oh, what a lovely thought! The probability of giving birth to a girl is 1/2 each time, so the probability of having 5 girls in a row is (1/2) * (1/2) * (1/2) * (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/32. Remember, each birth is a unique and wonderful event, no matter the outcome.


What is the probability of getting neither an ace nor a heart?

The probability of not getting on ace is 48 in 52, or 12 in 13, or about 0.9231. The probability of not getting a heart is 39 in 52, or 3 in 4, or 0.75.These two events, however, are not exclusive, so you can not just multiply them together. You need to look at the big picture. But look at the summary below.There are 4 aces in the deck, one of which is a heart. There are 13 hearts in the deck, one of which is an ace. The inclusion set is 16 cards that are either an ace or a heart. Flip this over by subtracting from 52 and you get 36 cards that are not an ace nor a heart.So, the probability of getting neither an ace nor a heart is 36 in 52, or 18 in 26, or 9 in 13, or about 0.6923.Now, it turns out that you could have just multiplied the probabilities and obtained the same result. This worked because you were looking at inverse probabilities. It would not have worked if the question was to find the probability of getting an ace or a heart.In summary, I went ahead and showed the thought process involved to illustrate a point - that you need to understand the set of possible outcomes in order to make a correct calculation.

What is often thought of as a region of space in which there is a high probability of finding an electron?

An orbital is often thought of as a region of space in which there is a high probability of finding an electron in an atom. It is a mathematical function that describes the location and energy of an electron in the three-dimensional space around an atomic nucleus.

You think probable to ionosphere.


Which is the best analogy describing the location of an electron in an atomic orbita?

An electron in an atomic orbital can be thought of as a cloud of probability where the electron is likely to be found. It is similar to a bee buzzing around a hive; you can't pinpoint its precise location at any given time, but you can predict its general vicinity based on its probability distribution.


Electrons move around the nucleus in paths called what?

Orbitals. Not to be confused with orbits. They don't actually move in 'paths' either. Due to their nature, you cannot determine the exact location of an electron and still know where it will be next. (See "Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle") Orbitals actually are mathematical functions which describe the probability of finding an electron in a given space.


Do electrons travel in definite circular pathway around the nucleus?

No. Electrons travel at will in Electron clouds, At first we thought they were in definite pathways, but they don't. Though Bohr's model is used so we can know roughly how many electrons are in an energy level.

When three dice are rolled what is the probability that at least two of the dice have the same value using Matlab?

The probability is 1 and you do not need Matlab to get that answer - only a little bit of thought.

Why electron haven't elliptical path?

It doesn't make a lot of sense to talk about an electron's path, because electrons in atoms don't have paths period, whether circular, elliptical, or banana-shaped. They have orbitals, which despite the similarity in sound are not at all the same thing as orbits.

Are the electrons found inside the nucleus?

Though the nucleus gives out electrons as beta particles in the phenomenon of beta decay, nucleus does not have electron within. Then how could an electron come out? This is actually an interesting question. A neutron is capable of decaying into a proton and an electron along with a formation of anti neutrino. This electron comes out as beta particle.
