Question

BONUS 1.) Probability answers should fall between: 2.) An answer to a probability that is closer to the "low" end would mean what? 3.) Given the following values, which could be probability assignments? Circle all that are appropriate? 8 3 5 7 .065 0.0004 43% 132% 4) If the probability that it will rain today is 40%, what is the probability that it not rain? P(not rain) 5.) The probability of catching a cold in the winter is 0.85. What is the probability of not catching a cold in the winter? P(not catching a cold)

Explanation / Answer

1) Probability answers should fall between 0 and 1

2) The event is unlikely to occur.

3) 0.065, 0.0004, 43%, 5/7

4) P(not rain)= 1- P(rain)

  P(not rain)= 1-0.4= 0.6 or 60%

5) P(not catching a cold)=1- P(catching a cold)

  P(not catching a cold)=1-0.85=0.15
