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
