Questions and Answers

What is the primary purpose of a probability value?

  • To determine the exact outcome of an event
  • To calculate the total number of possible outcomes
  • To guarantee the occurrence of an event
  • To predict the likelihood of an event (correct)
  • Which of the following is a characteristic of a simple event?

  • Has a probability value of 0 or 1
  • Represents a guarantee of an event's occurrence
  • Involves more than one occurrence or trial
  • Probability can be calculated straightforwardly (correct)
  • What is the formula for calculating the probability of a simple event?

  • P(event) = 1 / total number of possible outcomes
  • P(event) = number of ways in which an event can happen / total number of possible outcomes (correct)
  • 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
  • Which of the following is a representation of a compound event?
