When two events can occur with the same probability is called?
Equally likely events.
If two events are independent the probability that both occur is?
That probability is the product of the probabilities of the two individual events; for example, if event A has a probability of 50% and event B has a probability of 10%, the probability that both events will happen is 50% x 10% = 5%.
How often is the probability of the complement of an event less than the probability of the event itself?
It depends on the events. The answer is 0.5*(Total number of events - number of events with probability = 0.5) That is, discount all events such that their probability (and that of their complement) is exactly a half. Then half the remaining events will have probabilities that are greater than their complement's.
Events that have no effect on each others probability?
Independent Events
What is an event that occurs because of a preceding event?
A dependent event. Or rather, a dependent event is one whose probability of occurrence is affected by previous events. For instance, drawing a card from a deck is affected by previous draws, if there's no replacement.
If the probability of two events occurring together is 0 the events are called .?
Independent events with a probability of zero
What is it called when two events can occur with the same probability?
equiprobable events.
When two events can occur with the same probability is called?
Equally likely events.
When the probability of one event occurred is not affected by a second event having already occurred the two events are said to be?
The two events are said to be independent.
Why are formulas different when determining the probability of two or more events?
It depends on how independent the events are and on how much their result sets intersect.
What do I call a probability that is based upon an event that has already occurred?
It can be called a "conditional probability", but the word "conditional" is irrelevant if the two events are independent.
What is events that have the same probability?
They are "events that have the same probability". Nothing more, nothing less.
What type of event is found by multiplying the probability of the first event by the probability of the second event?
That's the probability that both events will happen, possibly even at the same time. I think it's called the 'joint' probability.
What Language is used to describe chance?
Probability theory, a branch of mathematics, is commonly used to describe chance or uncertainty. It provides a framework and language to study and quantify the likelihood of different outcomes or events occurring in a random or uncertain situation. The language of probability theory includes concepts such as probability, random variables, events, and probability distributions.
If two events are independent the probability that both occur is?
That probability is the product of the probabilities of the two individual events; for example, if event A has a probability of 50% and event B has a probability of 10%, the probability that both events will happen is 50% x 10% = 5%.
How often is the probability of the complement of an event less than the probability of the event itself?
It depends on the events. The answer is 0.5*(Total number of events - number of events with probability = 0.5) That is, discount all events such that their probability (and that of their complement) is exactly a half. Then half the remaining events will have probabilities that are greater than their complement's.
What can be done with the principle of probability?
You can calculate the probability of the outcome of events.
