A dice is rolled 50 times. It rolls a 4 a total of 10 times. Is this experimental or theoretical probability? (if it was asking for the probability)
Experimental Probability
A dice is rolled 50 times. It rolls a 4 a total of 10 times. What is the probability of rolling a 4?
20%
What is P(A’), given that P(A) = 1/6?
P(A’) = 5/6
What is P(A), given that P(A’) = 4/5?
P(A) = 1/5
A dice is rolled 2 times. Are these independent or dependent events?
Independent, the first roll doesn’t affect the second one
What is the probability of winning a game, if you have to roll a 6 on a dice and a 6 from a deck of cards?
P(A) * P(B) = 1/6 * 1/13 = 1/78
1/78
The probability of drawing two kings from a deck of cards without replacing the first. Are these independent or dependent events?
Dependent, because the first card is not being replaced
What is the probability of drawing 2 kings from a deck of cards without replacing them?
P(A) = 1/13, P(B|A) = 1/17
1/13 * 1/17 = 1/221
The probability of drawing two green marbles out of a bag without replacing them. Are these events independent or dependent?
Dependent, because the first marble is not being replaced
What is the probability of drawing two green marbles out of a bag without replacing them? The bag has 6 green marbles and 8 red marbles.
P(A) = 3/7. P(B|A) = 5/13
3/7 * 5/13 = 15/91
What type of event is this? The probability of drawing a queen or a king.
mutually exclusive events
What is the probability of drawing a king or queen?
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)
1/13 + 1/13 = 2/13
