Why the probability is have a specified chance to be selected and why the non probability does not have an equal of being selected?

Probability is the number of occurrences of a specific event divided by the total number of possible events. Suppose you took a multiple choice test with 4 possible answer's A, B, C, D. Only 1 of the 4 choices is correct; so the probability of correct is 1/4 and the probability of incorrect is 3/4. Most of the time the two probabilities will not be the same.


Tristan guesses on two multiple-choice questions on a test if each question has five possibe answers choices what is the probability that he gets the first one correct and the second one incorrect?

4/25


What are the odds against correctly guessing the answer to multiple choice question with 7 posssible answers?

6 to 1. (That is, 6 incorrect to 1 correct.) This is equaivalent to a probability of 1/7 or a 14% chance of guessing the correct answer.


Probability that both children are girls if there is 2 children?

There are several reasons that the question cannot have a proper answer. The first is that children's gender are not independent events. It is, therefore, wrong to multiply probabilities. Second, the probability of a girl is not 1/2. Current statistics show that it is approx 0.48. However, if you wish to ignore these relevant facts, the [incorrect] answer that is expected is 1/4.


Can you have a z score above 3?

Yes. However, a z-score greater than 3 implies either that the outcome is rare (prob = 0.135%) or that some of the assumptions regarding the variable are incorrect. This could be the distribution itself or its parameters.

The answer depends largely on the probability of coming to an incorrect diagnosis or deciding on a wrong treatment, and the consequence of making that mistake.


Why might experimental probability be different from theoretical probability?

There may not have been a sufficient number of experiments carried out. The experiments may not have been carried out properly. There may have been incorrect assumptions made in deriving the theoretical probability.

If you roll two dice what is the probability of the event that you roll a total of five on the two dice?

uummm!!!! The probability would maybe close to 5 or 4. * * * * * The answer is clearly incorrect because the probability of an event cannot be greater than 1. The actual probability, assuming the dice are fair, is 4/36 = 1/9 = 11.11...%

The probability for heart disease in a population is 30 percent the probability for the flu in the population is 50 percent the probability of getting both is 10 percent why or why not?

When determining the probability that two events happen at the same time, you convert the percents to decimals and then multiply the percents together. Therefore, 30 percent, or .3, times 50 percent, or .5 .3 x .5 = .15 Converting back into a percentage, the answer is 15% probability that you will get both. 10% is therefore incorrect.
