If it's like this:
"There are 4 books in a bag and two of the four are fiction. Jess randomly pulls one out of the bag and replaces it. What is the probability of getting two fiction books?"
Then you should do this, 2/4 x 2/4 = 4/16 or 1/4
If it's like this:
"There are 4 books in a bag and two of the four are fiction. Jess randomly pulls one out of the bag and doesn't replace it. What is the probability of getting two fiction books?"
Then you should do this, 2/4 x 1/3 = 2/12 or 1/6
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.
I apologize my question should have read what are the characteristics of a standard normal probability distribution? Thank you
Part1: Finding probability of getting sum as a perfect square. Maximum sum of both the dice is (6+6) equal to 12. Up to 12, the perfect squares are: 1, 4 and 9. Getting a sum of 1 from two dice is not possible. So, we are left with 4 and 9. To get 4, the combination can be: (2,2) or (1,3) or (3,1). This means, to get the sum as 4, the probability is [3/36]. To get 9, the combination can be: (3,6) or (6,3) or (5,4) or (4,5). This means, to get the sum as 9, the probability is [4/36]. Therefore,the total probability of getting the sum as a perfect square is: [(3/36)+(4/36)]=[7/36]. Part2: Finding the probability of getting sum as an even number. The possible even numbers can be 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12. But, as 4 is already considered in part1, it should be ignored in this case. The probability of getting sum as 2 is: [1/36] The probability of getting sum as 6 is: [5/36] The probability of getting sum as 8 is: [5/36] The probability of getting sum as 10 is: [3/36] By adding all the above, the probability of getting sum as an even number (ignoring 4) is: [(1/36)+(5/36)+(5/36)+(3/36)]=[14/36]. From part 1 and part 2, we get the total probability as [(7/36)+(14/36)]=[7/12]=0.583333.
There are 6 sides on a die, so the denominator should be 6. The number 3 appears on the dice once, so the fraction probability should be 1/6.
The sum should equal to 1.
Finding an LCM will help when you want to add and subtract fractions.
It is 0.5 becasue the events are (or should be) independent.
Yes they should
if you can divide whole numbers, turn the fraction into a whole number by finding its equivalent and replacing the fraction with that equivalent. Then divide the new number which should be whole and you have your answer.
For adding or substracting fractions first of all we should calculate the LCM( Lowest Common Multiplier) of the denominators in both of the fractions.
You should not have any remainders in fractions!
Theoretical probability is what should occur (what you think is going to occur) and experimental probability is what really occurs when you conduct an experiment.
Theoretical probability- what the probability "should be" if all outcomes are equally likely.
it helps you find the distance between fractions because the new name should be an equivalent fraction. Therefore it should be able to be divided\multiplied by 2 to make the original number.
it helps you find the distance between fractions beacause the new name should be an equivalent fraction

It is not clear why there should be any probability involved. The process of making purple is well understood and so is deterministic, not probabilistic.It is not clear why there should be any probability involved.
