This question cannot be answered.

The height of the building is what matters in this, and also how one hits the ground.

If you 'land' feet first, you might survive with serious injuries.

If you 'land' on your head you will most likely die immediately.

If the building is anything over 25 feet you will most likely die.

Jumping off is not the problem - it's the sudden stop that does the damage. Base-jumpers 'fall' off buildings regularly and live, even from enormous heights - they have parachutes. And stuntmen fall off buildings and out high windows and live because they either land on piled up cardboard boxes or into a swimming pool of have some other way of cushioning their impact.

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.


What can you do to get the experimental probability to be closer to the theoretical probability?

The experimental probability is figured out when a person goes through the trouble of actually trying it out. Theoretical probability is when a person comes to a conclusion of what is most likely, based off of the experiment results.


Ninety-five percent of the parts coming off an assembly line are non-defective what is the probability that of 500 parts fewer than 472 are non-defective?

Homework question? This is actually not a question of probability: if 95% of the parts are non-defective, then 0.95 * 500 = 475 parts are non-defective. So there is zero (0) probability that fewer than 472 parts are non-defective. The question is different when any part has a probability (chance) of 95% of being non-defective. This is a so called Binomial distribution. Google knows the answer.


What event has a probability of 0?

-- The freezing over of Hell. -- A confirmed sighting of flying pigs. etc. Besides anything that is impossible, as noted above, the simultaneous occurrence of two mutually exclusive events has a probability of zero: It is raining and it is not raining, it is on and it is off, etc.


The probability density function has what value in the interval between 20 and 28?

I think you left off some important information. Perhaps you can supply this information, to obtain assistance. To calculate the probability or the chance of occurrence between two values, we calculate: Pr{a < X < b} = F(b) - F(a) where F(x) = cumulative probability distribution. The distribution requires certain known parameters. In the case of the Normal distribution, the mean and standard deviation are parameters. In your particular case, a = 20 and b = 28.

What does it mean when you dream about jumping off a huge building over and over?

This dream is caused by procrastination. The building represents something you need to do that feels enormous, overwhelming and impossible. You are afraid that you cannot do what is required of you, and so your mind pictures it as terrifying as jumping off the edge of a building. Once you stop avoiding the issue and get the job done, these dreams will stop.
