Statistics Ch.5

Two events, E and F, are independent if P(E|F)= P(F|E)

False

Any collection of possible outcomes of a chance experiment is called a sample space. T or F

False- not chance experiment. Probability experiment

If two events, A and B, are mutually exclusive, then P(A and B)= P(A)*P(B)

False

The classical view of probability is based on the Law of Large Numbers T or F

False

The event "A or B" consists of all of the outcomes in both of the events T or F

False

The probability of an event E can always be computed using the formula, P(E)= number of outcomes favorable to E / number of outcomes in the sample space T or F

False

Two events are independent if they cannot occur simultaneously. T or F

False

A chance experiment is any activity or situation in which there is uncertainty concerning which of two or more possible outcomes will result. T or F

True

An event consisting of exactly one outcome is called a simple event T or F

True

Two events are said to be disjoint or mutually exclusive when they have no outcomes in common. T or F

True
