Classify each statement as an example of classical probability, empirical probability, or subjective probability a. The probability that a person will watch the 6 o'clock b. The probability of winning at a Chuck-a-Luck c. The probability that a bus will be in an accident on d. The probability of getting a royal flush when evening news is 0.15. game is a specific run is about 6%. five cards are selected at random is 849740Explanation / Answer
10) Probability is a measure of the likelihood that an event will occur. The probability of an event is always a number between 0 and 1 inclusive. If the event will not happen, the probability is 0. The larger the probability, the more likely it is that the event will occur, and if the event will certainly happen, the probability is 1. So Probaility is always (0,1) and cannot take values less than 0 and greater than 1. Hence we can rule out c,d,e,h as an outcome of Probability.
11) Classical Probability of an event is if all possible n outcomes of the experiment are equally likely of which m favour the event. P(A) = m / n. Empirical Probability is obtained when an experiment is repeated n no. of times and on m ocassions event A is observed. Subjective Probability Subjective probability is a probability derived from an individual's personal judgment about whether a specific outcome is likely to occur. It contains no formal calculations and only reflects the subject's opinions and past experience.
a. here the probability is of a person who watches the 6 o'clock news show. This is a subjective probability since there is no calculation which can be done and is only based on past experience.
b. In Chuck-a-Luck 3 dice are rolled and all the event of the experiment are equally likely and mutually exhaustive. Hence it is a Classical Probability.
c. Here the experiment must have been repeated many times as it is said the probability is about the specific run of the bus. Hence it is an Empirical Probability.
d. This is Classical probability since the event of drawing a card from the pack is equally likely.
