Math 133 chapter 5
The highest possible probability of the choices below for an event is
1.0
Which of the following is not an example of an experiment
Pick a team that won last year
A numerical value that measures the likelihood of an uncertain event occurring is
Probability
The probability of a random selecting a spade from a deck of cards
0.25
The sum of the probabilities of all the outcomes in a samplenspace is
1
If an experiment is selecting a card from a deck, then the sample space is
All the cards in the deck
A probability that can be deduced through logical reasoning before an experiment is preformed is what type of probability
Classical
For any given event the sum of the probability of that event and the probability of its __ must equal 1
Complement
Events that include more than one outcome from the sample space are known as __events
Compound
A ___ probability is the probability of an event given that another event has already occurred
Conditional
Probabilities that are estimated from observed frequencies are called
Empirical
three ways of assigning probability
Empirical, classical, subjective
Events that cannot both occur at the same time that are mutually __
Exclusive
Which ofnthe following are examples of random experiments
How many cheeseburgers will serve next week and what payment will the next 5 people use
A trial of process that produces several possible outcomes that cannot be known in advance is called __
Random experiment
The __ of 2 events A and B contains only those outcomes that are in both A and B
Intersection
The set of all possible outcomes from a random experiment is called a __
Sample space
A probability assigned by a person that is based on that person's judgment or experience is a ___ probability
Subjective
T/f probability is a number that describes uncertainty
True
A subset of the sample space is called a/an
event
a subset of the sample space
event
