Answers
Pr1
Probability is a non-negative proper fraction, i.e., 0 p 1. So, all given values except the last (- 1.32) are possible values for the probability of an event. ANSWER
Pr2
False
P(A) = Number of successful outcomes/Total number of outcomes (i.e., total of successful and unsuccessful outcomes)
Pr3
Same outcomes => HH or TT. Since all the four outcomes are equally likely, probability = 2/4 = ½ ANSWER
Pr4
The indicated probability of 1% is based on past happening. Hence, it is
empirical probability. ANSWER
