1. What is Trial?

A trial is is an action which results in one outcome.

A trial is a kind of probability.
A trial is an action which results in no outcomes.
A trial is an action which results in one or several outcomes.

2. Toss a coin. What is the probability of getting a head?

\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{1}{5}\)
1
\(\frac{1}{3}\)

3. What is a Random Experiment?

An experiment in which the result of the trial can be predicted.

An experiment in which the result of a trial cannot be predicted.
An experiment in which the result is already known.
An experiment in which the result is 0.

4. Define Event.
 An outcome which occurs more than once.
Event is an experiment.
An outcome or collection of outcomes of an experiment is an event.
An outcome which does not occur.

5. What are the events in a random experiment of a coin toss?

Head is the only event.

There are no events.
Tail is the only event.
Head and Tail are the 2 events.

6. How do you calculate Empirical probability?

\(\frac{\text{Total number of trials}}{\text{Number of events}}\)

Number of outcomes
Total number of trials
\(\frac{\text{Number of trials in which the event happened}}{\text{Total number of trials}}\)

7. A coin is tossed 20 times in which head is obtained 7 times. Find the probability of getting a tail.

\(\frac{7}{20}\)
\(\frac{13}{20}\)
\(\frac{20}{13}\)
\(\frac{1}{13}\)

8. A dice is rolled 6 times. 4 times the number 2 is obtained, 2 times number 6 is obtained. What is the probability of getting

an odd number?
 0.166
0.5
0.3
0

9. A dice is thrown once. What is the probability of getting number 2?

0
2
1.3
1/6

10. What is the maximum value of any probability?

-1
0.5
0
1

11. What is the probability that it will rain today?

0.5
0.4
1
0

12. Probability is the measure of how likely an event will occur or that a statement is true.
 TRUE
FALSE

13. A dice is thrown six times. 2 times the number 3 is obtained, 3 times the number 1 is obtained, 1 time the number 5 is
obtained. The probability of number 6 appearing is 0.

TRUE
FALSE

14. The number of events in a single coin toss are 2.

TRUE
FALSE

15. In tossing a pair of coins the outcomes are HH, HT, TT, TH and HTH.

FALSE
TRUE
