As the number of trials in a probability simulation increases (e.g., from 10 to 10,000), what generally happens to the observed relative frequency of an event?
If , , and , then events and must be:
In the coin-flipping game between Peter and Eliott, what is the probability that Eliott wins on his second turn? This occurs if the first three flips (Peter, Eliott, Peter) are all Tails and the fourth flip (Eliott's second turn) is a Head.
Which set-builder notation correctly represents the set ?
True or False: If three events , , and are mutually exclusive and cover the entire sample space , then their probabilities must sum to 1.
It stays exactly the same as it was after 10 trials
It fluctuates more wildly away from the theoretical probability
It always becomes exactly equal to the theoretical probability
It tends to get closer to the theoretical probability
mutually exclusive
independent
subsets of each other
