What is a probability ?

1 answer:

docker41 [41]2 years ago

3 0

Answer:

A number that measures the likelihood that the event will occur.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is a measure of the frequency of occurrence of a phenomenon, the value of which can be expressed qualitatively or quantitatively. Probability is quantified as a real number between 0 and 1, although sometimes probability is also expressed as a percentage. The probability is 0 when the event cannot or will never happen, and the probability is 1 when it happens for sure or it always happens. If the probability is between these values, the event is not common and its occurrence is uncertain. The higher the probability value, the more common the event is or the more certain it will occur.

Find the variance of this probability distribution. Round to two decimal places.

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Variance = 4.68

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the variance is:

$\sigma^{2} =\frac{\Sigma(X- \mu)^{2}}{N} \\or \\ \sigma^{2} =\frac{\Sigma(X)^{2}}{N} -\mu^{2} \\$

Where:

$X: Values \\\mu: Mean \\N: Number\ of\ values$

The mean can be calculated as each value multiplied by its probability

$\mu = 0*0.4 + 1*0.3 + 2*0.1+3*0.15+ 4*0.05=1.15$

$\frac{\Sigma (X)^{2}}{N} =\frac{(0^{2}+1^{2}+2^{2}+3^{2}+4^{2})}{5} =6$

Replacing the mean and the summatory of X:

$\sigma^{2} = \frac{\Sigma(X)^{2}}{N} -\mu^{2} \\= 6 - 1.15^{2}\\= 4.6775$

What is the value of the expression? 8.5 - (-4.8) - 7

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

6.3

Step-by-step explanation:

8.5 - (-4.8)

Let's focus on - (-4.8)

if a negative number is subtracted, it reverses itself

In other words, if a negative number is being subtracted, it is the same as being added as a positive number

So we change the equation to

8.5 + 4.8 = 13.3

Now we subtract 7 from 13.3

Since positive 7 is being subtracted, the rule for -4.8 does not apply to it

13.3 - 7 = 6.3

A car dealership increased the price of a certain car by 13%. The original price was $47400 what is the new price?

svlad2 [7]

The answer would be 53,562. You would multiply 47400 by 1.13 to get your answer. Hope this helps!
