Probability Finding Sample Space

An outcome with the probability of 19/20 would be described as _.

• likely

• unlikely

• equally likely as not

• certain

What is the definition of the complement of a probability of an event happening?

• there is no such thing as the complement of probability

• the same as the probability of the event happening

• double the probability of the event happening

• the probability of the event not happening

What is the definition of sample space?

• the set of all possible outcomes of a simple or compound experiment

• the space in which you write a probability answer

• the set of all the prime numbers

• the space between the probability of 0 and 1

What is the definition of "likely" when dealing with probability?

• having the probability less than 1

• the outcome that is the most popular

• having the probability greater than 1/2

• having the probability less than 1/2

How is the following statement read?

p(black, heads) = 1/6

• a proportion finding the missing number equal to 1/6

• the probability of getting black and then tails is 1/6

• the probability of having black heads from eating too much grease is 1/6

Collection of all possible outcomes in an experiment is called ______________. (Examples: organized list, table, tree diagram)
