Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of a probability value?

  • To predict the likelihood of an event (correct)
  • To determine the exact outcome of an event
  • To calculate the number of possible outcomes
  • To guarantee the occurrence of an event

What is the formula to calculate the probability of a simple event?

  • P(event) = total number of possible outcomes - number of ways in which an event can happen
  • P(event) = total number of possible outcomes / number of ways in which an event can happen
  • P(event) = total number of possible outcomes + number of ways in which an event can happen
  • P(event) = number of ways in which an event can happen / total number of possible outcomes (correct)

What is the percentage format of a probability value derived from?

  • Multiplying the fraction format by 100 (correct)
  • Multiplying the decimal format by 100
  • Adding 100 to the decimal format
  • Dividing the fraction format by 100
