Probability Quiz

What is a Probability Experiment?

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

• An action, or trial, through which specific results are obtained.

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

• A subset of the sample space.

What is the Outcome in a probability experiment?

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

• An action, or trial, through which specific results are obtained.

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

• A subset of the sample space.

What does Sample Space refer to?

• A subset of the sample space.

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

• An event that consists of a single outcome.

• Two events that cannot occur at the same time.

What is an Event in probability?

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

• A subset of the sample space.

• An action, or trial, through which specific results are obtained.

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

What is a Simple Event?

• An event that consists of a single outcome.

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

• A subset of the sample space.

• Two events that cannot occur at the same time.

What does the Fundamental Counting Principle state?

• The probability of an event occurring, given that another event has already occurred.

• If one event can occur in m ways and a second event can occur in n ways, the number of ways the two events can occur in sequence is m times n.

• The set of all outcomes in a sample space that are not included in event E.

• The occurrence of one of the events does not affect the probability of the occurrence of the other event.

What is Classical (or Theoretical) Probability?

• Based on observations obtained from probability experiments.

• Used when each outcome in a sample space is equally likely to occur.

• The probability of an event occurring, given that another event has already occurred.

• Two events that cannot occur at the same time.

What is Empirical (or Statistical) Probability?

• Based on observations obtained from probability experiments.

• Used when each outcome in a sample space is equally likely to occur.

• The probability of an event occurring, given that another event has already occurred.

• Two events that cannot occur at the same time.

What does the Law of Large Numbers state?

• The probability of an event occurring, given that another event has already occurred.

• As an experiment is repeated over and over, the empirical probability of an event approaches the theoretical probability of the event.

• The set of all outcomes in a sample space that are not included in event E.

• Two events that cannot occur at the same time.

What is the Range of Probabilities Rule?

• The probability of an event E is between 0 and 1, inclusive.

• The set of all outcomes in a sample space that are not included in event E.

• The probability of an event occurring, given that another event has already occurred.

• Two events that cannot occur at the same time.
