    because the questions are independent of each other. 6. Explain the difference between independent and dependent events. Dependent events are linked to another event, while independent events are single events. 7. Provide an example of experimental probability and explain why it is considered experimental. Experimental probability of an event is the ratio of the number of times the event occurs to the total number of trials. Example: Patrick flipped a number cube 40 times. A 5 appeared 10 times

    4. Probability of recurrence: In the present study, three stochastic models (Weibull, Gamma and Lognormal) have been used for the estimation of probability of earthquake recurrence in Gujarat region of India which was rocked by the great earthquake in 2001. The earthquake data of the region has only five recurrence intervals of earthquakes magnitude ≥ 6 for the period of study, from 1819 to 2001, and is listed in Table 1. The estimated mean, standard deviation and aperiodicity (equivalent to the

    that brings success or advantage to a situation that will ensure maximum benefits and least risk. Probability can be applied to decision-making in public administration because it is possible to estimate the probability of occurrence of specific events. A part of decision-making in relationship to public administration has to do with goals. The probability of you meeting those goals depends on decision-making. For example a restaurant owner has received more revenue on Thursdays than on any other

    exclusive events, The sum of Separate probabilities likely to be one event occur or another. Example: Place 100 marbles in a box; 35 blue, 45 red, and 20 yellow. P(blue)=.35 P(red)=.45 P(yellow)=.20 What is the probability of choosing either a red or a yellow marble from the box? P(red or yellow) = P(red)+ P(yellow) = .45+.20 = .65 The multiplicative law of probabilities The multiplicative law of probability is defined as the probability of the joint occurrence of two or more of the events which

    is the final strand of the Australian curriculum relating to mathematics. Students using probability are “experimenting various theoretical approaches”- Australian Curriculum (2016). Probability is when you divide the number of outcomes in which an event can occur by the number of possible outcomes (Lakin, 2010, p.p131). My experience and knowledge has expanded while studying probability in this unit. It has been developed in activities such as MathSpace and WIKA (appendix m). MathSpace helped me

    AIM OF THE EXPLORATION Way of scoring in Tennis makes it a different from other games. The unique point is that the scoring at the point level is not cumulative and hence, it is possible for a player scoring less points than her or his opponent to win a match. In this portfolio, we will explore  How to construct a probabilistic model for a tennis match in which the probabilities of winning points are used to analyze the probability of winning matches.  Charts, which will illustrate the
