A. One
B. Two
C. Zero
14. Sum of the probabilities of all events of a trial is ————
A. One
B. Two
C. Zero
15. Performing an experiment once is called —————
A. Trial
B. Error
C. Sample
ANSWERS:
1. 0 and 1
2. P (E) = Number of trials in which E has happened / Total number of trials
3. P (H) = Number of heads / Total number of trials
P (H) = 45/ 100 = 0.45
P (T) = Number of tails / Total number of trials
P (T) = 55/ 100 = 0.55
4. 0.53
5. ½
6. Experimental probability
7.1/3
8. ½
9. 3/7
10. Number of ace cards = 4
P (A) = 4/52 = 1/ 13
11. 1.2 (Probability of any event cannot be more than 1)
12. Zero
13. One
14. One
15. Trial
