what is equally likely outcomes |
|
Answer» For many experiements it is reasonable to assume that all possible outcomes are equally likely.For example:\tDraw a random sample of size n from a population. The assumption that the sample is drawn at random means that all samples of size n have an equal chance of being chosen (much of statistical analysis depends on the assumption that samples are chosen randomly).\tFlip a fair coin n times and observe the sequence of heads and tails that results.\tRoll n dice, die 1, die 2, die 3, . . . , die n, and observe the ordered sequence of numbers on the uppermost faces. The outcomes of a sample space are called equally likely if all of them have the same chance of occurring |
