Simple Probability
When selecting a card from a standard
deck, what is the probability that it is a King?
What is 1/2 or 50%.
uniform distribution
What is occurs when, in a single trial, all outcomes are equally likely
P(x) = nCx p^xq^n−x
An experiment involves rolling three dice and recording the sum. Which 2 numbers from the possible 3-18 are least likely.
What is 3 and 18.
hypergeometric probability distribution
What is a distribution with dependent trials whose outcomes are either success or failure.
E(X) = ra/n
What is Expectation for a Hypergeometric Distribution.
In an experiment, a student searches for a toy behind one of ten doors. Three doors are green and the remaining doors are blue. What is the probability that the toy is behind a green door?
What is 3/10 or 30%
Binomial probability distribution
What is a distribution with independent trials whose outcomes are either success or failure.
P(x) =1/n
What is Uniform Distribution Probability.
A box contains ten red, one green, four blue, and five yellow marbles. A marble is selected at random. What is the probability that the marble is red or yellow?
Continuous random variable
What is a variable that can have an infinite number of possible values in a given range, often measurements, such as volume or time.
E(X) = np
What is Expectation for a Binomial Distribution.
