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 …
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 choosi…
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 prob…

Chapter 3.6, Problem 12A

Here’s a look at a map of the east side of Dubuque, Iowa. It shows a driving path from a casino on the river to a golf course on the other side. According to the maps app on my phone, the driving distance is 3.0 miles. We’re most interested in the graphic at the bottom left, which indicates that 1 inch on the map (measure if you don’t believe me) corresponds to 2,000 feet in real life.

Chapter 3.6, Problem 12A, Heres a look at a map of the east side of Dubuque, Iowa. It shows a driving path from a casino on

If we looked at a satellite photo at the same scale as this map, do you think we could see any boats on the river? Answer yes or no and explain your reasoning.
