What is probability?

Back

Probability is a measure of the likelihood that an event will occur, expressed as a number between 0 and 1.

Front

Define mutually exclusive events.

Back

Mutually exclusive events are events that cannot occur at the same time. For example, when tossing a coin, landing on heads and tails are mutually exclusive.

Front

What is the probability of landing on blue first and green second with a spinner that has 4 equal sections: red, blue, green, and yellow?

Back

1/16

Front

How do you calculate the probability of two independent events occurring?

Back

Multiply the probabilities of each event. For example, P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B).

Front

What is the probability of landing on an odd number if a spinner has numbers 1 to 8?

Back

Front

What is the formula for calculating the probability of an event?

Back

P(Event) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes.

What is an example of independent events in probability?

Back

Tossing a coin and rolling a die are independent events; the outcome of one does not affect the other.
