Ch. 3 - Probability

What is the purpose of the Fundamental Counting Principle in probability?

• To identify the sample space of a probability experiment

• To find the probability of the complement of an event

• To distinguish among different types of probability

• To find the number of ways two or more events can occur

What does the term 'outcome' refer to in a probability experiment?

• A) The set of all possible results that can occur.

• B) The probability of an event occurring.

• C) The result of a single trial in a probability experiment.

• D) The process of conducting the experiment.

What is the sample space in a probability experiment?

• A) The formula used to calculate probabilities.

• B) The result of a single trial in a probability experiment.

• C) The set of all possible outcomes of a probability experiment.

• D) The subset of outcomes that defines an event.

What is a simple event in probability?

• An event with multiple outcomes

• An event that cannot be predicted

• An event that consists of a single outcome

• An event that consists of two or more outcomes

According to the Fundamental Counting Principle, if one event can occur in m ways and a second event can occur in n ways, how many ways can the two events occur in sequence?

• m + n

• m / n

• m • n

• m - n

How many ways can a car be selected based on the given choices of manufacturers, car sizes, and colors?

• 12 ways

• 18 ways

• 24 ways

• 30 ways

How many different access codes for a car's security system are possible if each digit can be used only once and not repeated?

• 10,000

• 5,040

• 9,999

• 1,000

How many different access codes are there if each digit can be repeated?

• 10,000

• 5,040

• 9,999

• 6,561

In classical (theoretical) probability, what is assumed about the outcomes in a sample space?

• Each outcome is based on physical measurements.

• Each outcome is derived from historical data.

• Each outcome is equally likely.

• Each outcome is unique and unpredictable.

What is the probability of rolling a 7 on a standard die?

• 1/6

• 1/7

• 0

• 1/2
