There is not enough information about the the distribution of the number of people known by each individual - nor the averages. It is therefore no possible to give an answer any more precise than "the probability will be infinitesimally small".

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.


What do you call a person that studies probability?

A mathematician or a statistician.


If the probability of getting identical is 0.004 while the probability of fraternal twins is 0.023 then what is the probability that a person chosen at random will not be a twin?

1- P(identical) - P(fraternal) =1-0.004-0.023 =0.973 The probability of being a identical or fraternal twin plus the probability of not being a twin has to add to 1. so 1- probability of being twins=probability of not being a twin ;-)


What is the probability of at least one birthday match among a group of 41 people?

The probability of at least 1 match is equivalent to 1 minus the probability of there being no matches. The first person's birthday can fall on any day without a match, so the probability of no matches in a group of 1 is 365/365 = 1. The second person's birthday must also fall on a free day, the probability of which is 364/365 The probability of the third person also falling on a free day is 363/365, which we must multiply by the probability of the second person's birthday being free as this must also happen. So for a group of 3 the probability of no clashes is (363*364)/(365*365). Continuing this way, the probability of no matches in a group of 41 is (365*364*363*...326*325)/36541 This can also be written 365!/(324!*36541) Which comes to 0.09685... Therefore the probability of at least one match is 1 - 0.09685 = 0.9032 So the probability of at least one match is roughly 90%


In one town 61 percent of adults have health insurance What is the probability that 8 adults selected at random from the town all have health insurance?

.61 ^ 8 = .0191707... = 1.92% And an informal proof/explanation: P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B), which means the probability of A and B = Probability of A times the probability of B. P(1st person and 2nd person) = P(1st person) * P(2nd person) P(1st person and 2nd person and 3rd person) = P(1st person) * P(2nd person) * P(3rd person) ... P(1st person) = P(2nd person) = ... = P(8th person) P(1st-8th people) = P(1st) * P(2nd) * ... * P(8th) = P(1st person) ^ 8 .61 ^ 8 = .0191707... = 1.92%

Will someone please explain probablilityto you?

Probability, simply put, is the likelihood that something will occur. The easiest way to explain probability to someone is to use a hypothetical situation. For example, if a person whose usual size of jeans is 8 tries on a pair of size 8 jeans, the probability that they will fit is high. However, since sizes vary from one manufacturer to another, it is a probability rather than a certainty.

If probability of reading newspaper a is .2 probability of reading newspaper b is .16 probability of reading newspaper c is .14.what is the probability that a person selected at random will read none?

The Probability of NOT reading newspaper a is .8 The Probability of NOT reading Newspaper b is .84 The probability of NOT reading Newspaper c is .86 Therefore, .8*.84*.86=0.57792=57.792%
