how do we define a probability?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

youve been trying, so show us what youve tried ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Probability is the chance that something will happen - how likely it is that some event will happen. So i have the info i need to know how to put it together you know

OpenStudy (amistre64):

good, and experimental proababilty is simply the actual results from an experiment. so we know the probability of a bad apple is 15 out of 225, what does that leave for a good apple?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

210

OpenStudy (amistre64):

210 15 ---- 225 yep so, 210/225 is the experimental probability that the next apple is good .. reduce as desired

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have to find if the next one will be good but how would i do that? divide

OpenStudy (anonymous):

total probability = 1 P(bad apples)= 15/ 225 P(good apples)=1 - (15/225) = 210/225

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahhh i see. thank you so thats really all i needed to show correct?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

as far as i can tell yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i just make questions harder than what they really are

OpenStudy (amistre64):

lol, i tend to just nake up completely different questions, and answer them then try to figure out why i got it wrong

OpenStudy (amistre64):

prolly why i like the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy ,,, the first one
