Key concepts
Probability is always a number between 0 and 1, where 0 means an event is impossible and 1 means an event is certain.
The probabilities in a probability model must sum to 1. See
[link] .
When the outcomes of an experiment are all equally likely, we can find the probability of an event by dividing the number of outcomes in the event by the total number of outcomes in the sample space for the experiment. See
[link] .
To find the probability of the union of two events, we add the probabilities of the two events and subtract the probability that both events occur simultaneously. See
[link] .
To find the probability of the union of two mutually exclusive events, we add the probabilities of each of the events. See
[link] .
The probability of the complement of an event is the difference between 1 and the probability that the event occurs. See
[link] .
In some probability problems, we need to use permutations and combinations to find the number of elements in events and sample spaces. See
[link] .

What term is used to express the likelihood of an event occurring? Are there restrictions on its values? If so, what are they? If not, explain.
probability; The probability of an event is restricted to values between

The
union of two sets is defined as a set of elements that are present in at least one of the sets. How is this similar to the definition used for the
union of two events from a probability model? How is it different?
The probability of the
union of two events occurring is a number that describes the likelihood that at least one of the events from a probability model occurs. In both a union of sets
and a union of events
the union includes either
or both. The difference is that a union of sets results in another set, while the union of events is a probability, so it is always a numerical value between

A golfer on a fairway is 70 m away from the green, which sits below the level of the fairway by 20 m. If the golfer hits the ball at an angle of 40° with an initial speed of 20 m/s, how close to the green does she come?
A mouse of mass 200 g falls 100 m down a vertical mine shaft and lands at the bottom with a speed of 8.0 m/s. During its fall, how much work is done on the mouse by air resistance
Chemistry is a branch of science that deals with the study of matter,it composition,it structure and the changes it undergoes

chemistry could also be understood like the sexual attraction/repulsion of the male and female elements. the reaction varies depending on the energy differences of each given gender. + masculine -female.

A ball is thrown straight up.it passes a 2.0m high window 7.50 m off the ground on it path up and takes 1.30 s to go past the window.what was the ball initial velocity
2. A sled plus passenger with total mass 50 kg is pulled 20 m across the snow (0.20) at constant velocity by a force directed 25° above the horizontal. Calculate (a) the work of the applied force, (b) the work of friction, and (c) the total work.
you have been hired as an espert witness in a court case involving an automobile accident. the accident involved car A of mass 1500kg which crashed into stationary car B of mass 1100kg. the driver of car A applied his brakes 15 m before he skidded and crashed into car B. after the collision, car A s
can someone explain to me, an ignorant high school student, why the trend of the graph doesn't follow the fact that the higher frequency a sound wave is, the more power it is, hence, making me think the phons output would follow this general trend?
Nevermind i just realied that the graph is the phons output for a person with normal hearing and not just the phons output of the sound waves power, I should read the entire thing next time
Joseph
Follow up question, does anyone know where I can find a graph that accuretly depicts the actual relative "power" output of sound over its frequency instead of just humans hearing

A string is 3.00 m long with a mass of 5.00 g. The string is held taut with a tension of 500.00 N applied to the string. A pulse is sent down the string. How long does it take the pulse to travel the 3.00 m of the string?
