Probability Questions & Answers Addition Principle of Counting - ANSWER: we use this principle of counting for mutually exclusive events. Add the number of events to get the total number additional rule - ANSWER: For probability this rule states that (A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B) categorial data - ANSWER: Data that cannot be measured, but is divided into groups. Example: race, gender, age combination - ANSWER: Counts the number of ways objects can be formed into groups of a certai...

Intro to Probability Questions & Answers A bag contains eleven equally sized marbles, which are numbered. What is the probability that a marble chosen at random is shaded or is labeled with a multiple of 3? - ANSWER: 6/11 A bicycle manufacturer is studying the reliability of one of its models. The study finds that the probability of a brake defect is 4 percent and the probability of both a brake defect and a chain defect is 1 percent. If the probability of a defect with the brakes or the c...

Introduction to Probability Questions & Answers A 'Statistics for the Natural Sciences' course has 75 students: 22 Physics majors, 23 Chemistry majors, and 30 Biology majors. If a student is chosen at random, what is the probability that the student is a biology major? (Answers are presented in percentages rather than decimals). A 30% B 50% C 75% D 40% - ANSWER: D There are a total of 75 students in the course, 30 of which are Biology majors. Therefore, the probability choosing at ran...
