Consider the following experiment: two fair dice, one red and one green, are rolled. The number of dots on the upturned faces is recorded. (a) How many elements are there in the sample space S? (b) List all the elements in S as ordered pairs (c) Find the probabilities of the following events and write them as fractions: (i) The sum is 6 (ii) The sum is not 4 (iii) The sum is at most 4 (iv) The sum is at least 4
Addition Rule of Probability
It simply refers to the likelihood of an event taking place whenever the occurrence of an event is uncertain. The probability of a single event can be calculated by dividing the number of successful trials of that event by the total number of trials.
Expected Value
When a large number of trials are performed for any random variable ‘X’, the predicted result is most likely the mean of all the outcomes for the random variable and it is known as expected value also known as expectation. The expected value, also known as the expectation, is denoted by: E(X).
Probability Distributions
Understanding probability is necessary to know the probability distributions. In statistics, probability is how the uncertainty of an event is measured. This event can be anything. The most common examples include tossing a coin, rolling a die, or choosing a card. Each of these events has multiple possibilities. Every such possibility is measured with the help of probability. To be more precise, the probability is used for calculating the occurrence of events that may or may not happen. Probability does not give sure results. Unless the probability of any event is 1, the different outcomes may or may not happen in real life, regardless of how less or how more their probability is.
Basic Probability
The simple definition of probability it is a chance of the occurrence of an event. It is defined in numerical form and the probability value is between 0 to 1. The probability value 0 indicates that there is no chance of that event occurring and the probability value 1 indicates that the event will occur. Sum of the probability value must be 1. The probability value is never a negative number. If it happens, then recheck the calculation.
Given that two dies are rolled and upturned faces is recorded.
a)It is required to find the number of elements in the sample space S.
The number of elements in the sample space when two dies are rolled is,
b)It is required to list all elements in S.
