Question

1)

Which construct is used to develop knowledge of the fundamental mathematical tools for quantitatively assessing risk?

Statistics

Parameters

Probability

Variability

Central tendency

2)

Leonardo Barichello describes a thought experiment in which two people, stranded on an island, are tossing dice to decide who will get the last banana. Player 1 wins if the largest number that comes up is a 1, 2, 3, or 4; Player 2 wins in the largest number is a 5 or 6. Barichello explains how the probability of each player winning can be calculated by identifying the 36 possible outcomes and then counting up those in which Player 1 would win and those in which Player 2 would win. By doing so, you would be using the _____ method.

subjective probability

relative frequency

classical probability

a priori probability

a posterior probability
