Solving Probability Practice

Introduction to Probability:
Numerical measure of the likelihood of an event to occur is called as Probability. The probability should be a range in between 0 and 1.For solving probability practice problems we must know the following formula,

Probability of an event   =    number of times an event occurs / total number of outcomes

Consider an observation with 'n' possible ways and out of them in 'm' ways if the event 'A' occurs,then the probability of occurrence of the event 'A' is given by P(A) = m/n.

Let us workout some practice problems on solving probability in the following sections.

I like to share this Probability Problems and Solutions with you all through my article.

Probability on a coin problem:


Here Tossing a coin is a random experiment. When you toss a coin, you may get head or tail.Let us see how to  solving the coin problem.

1: What is the probability of getting Head when you toss a coin?

We can have 2 out-comes for tossing a coin :  Head or tail.

Here the event is getting Head. So we have 1 head.

So probability of getting head is one out of two outcomes.

Probability of getting Head    = number of head event occurs / total number of outcomes

= 1/2

= 0.5

So the probability of this practice problem is 0.5


Probability on Card problem:


In 52 cards, there are 13 spades, 13 clovers, 13 diamonds and 13 hearts , 26 cards are red in color (diamonds and heart) and 26 are black (spade and clover).Let us see how to  solving the card problems.

(1)  What is the probability that you get a red card?

The event is getting a red card. There are 26 red cards.

Total sample spaces are 52(52 cards).

Probability of getting a red cards = number of red cards / sample space

= 26/52

=1/2

= 0.5

(2) What is the probability of getting a spade when you draw from a well shuffled pack of 52 cards?

Number of Spade cards = 13

Total Sample space       = 52

Probability of getting a spade card = number of spade / total sample space

= 13/52

= 1/4

= 0.25

(3) What is the probability of getting a black queen in a pack of 52 cards?

In a pack of 52 cards, there are 2 Black Queens (spade 1, clover 1)

Total Sample space = 52

Probability of getting a black queen = number of black queen / total sample space

= 2/52

= 1/26

= 0.04

Practice Algebra Class

Introduction to practice algebra class:

Algebra class deals with the Pre-algebra, Functions and Graphs, Integers, Rational Numbers, Equations in One Variable, Equations in Two Variables, Simultaneous Equations, Problem Solving etc. in arithmetic, we use digit like 1,2,3, etc to represent numbers. In algebra we use numbers as well as letters of the alphabet such as a, b, c, etc for any numerical values we choose. The basic thought of the algebra is balancing the algebraic equations on both sides of the give equations in the problems. Algebra will perform the four fundamental operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. In this article we shall discuss with practice algebra class


Sample problem on practice algebra class


Problems of algebra class on linear equations:

Example 1:

Solve the linear equation for algebra class

11 x - 15 = 19 x - 23

Solutions:

11 x - 15 = 19 x - 23

Subtract 19 x from both sides of the above equation, we get the below term

-8x – 15 = -23
Add 15 to both sides of the above equation, we get the below term

-8x – 15 + 15 = - 23 + 15

-8x = - 8
Divide both sides by -8 of the equation, we get

X = 1

The answer is x = 1

Test the solution for the given equation. Replace with in the above given equation for x. If the left side of the equation sum value is equal to the right side of the equation sum value after the replacement of x value, you have got the exact answer.

Left side of the equation:
11(1) - 15 = - 4

Right side of the equation:
19(1) - 23 = - 4

Practice word problems of algebra class

Example 2:

A bag contains ten, five and two rupees currencies. The total number of Currencies is 30 and the total value of money is Rs.135. If the second and third currencies are interchanged the value will decrease Rs.8. Find the number of currency in each sort.

Solution :

Let x, y, z be the number of Rs.10, Rs.5 and Rs.2 currencies respectively.

The total number of currencies is 30 => x + y + z = 30--------(1)

If the total value of money is Rs.135 => 10x + 5y + 2z = 136--------(2)

If the II and III of currencies are interchange the value will be decreased by Rs.8

=>10x + 2y + 5z = 135 – 8 = 127----------------(3)

10x + 2y + 5z = 127

10 x (1) – (2) =>     5y + 8z = 106------------(4)

(2) – (3)        =>     3y - 3z = 9

y – z = 3------------------(5)

Let us solve (4) and (5)

(4) =>      5y + 8z = 106

8 x (5)   ⇒ 8y – 8z = 24

13y = 130

y = 10

Substituting y = 10 in (5) we get

z = 7

Substituting z = 7, y = 10 in (1) we get

x + 10 + 7 = 30 => 30 – 10 – 7 or x = 13

Number of Rs.10, Rs.5 and Rs.2 currencies are respectively 13, 10 and 7.

Statistics Practice Exam

Introduction to statistics practice exam:

Statistics is the science of making effective use of numerical data relating to groups of individuals or experiments. It deals with all aspects of this, including not only the collection, analysis and interpretation of such data, but also the planning of the collection of data, in terms of the design of surveys and experiments.

A statistician is someone who is particularly versed in the ways of thinking necessary for the successful application of statistical analysis. Often such people have gained this experience after starting work in any of a number of fields. There is also a discipline called mathematical statistics, which is concerned with the theoretical basis of the subject.

Let us see several statistics based solved problems and statistics practice exam. Statistics practice exam with solutions which would be helpful for students to evaluate their performance.

Concepts on statistics practice exam:


Before going for a statistics practice exam, let us recall how to find mean deviation. The steps to find the mean deviation are as follows.

Step 1: find the mean for given data
`barx` = (sum of all variables) /( given number of  variables).

Step 2: find the deviation of the respective observations from mean `barx` ,  in other words  xi -  `barx`
Step 3: find the modulation of deviation ,     | Xi - `barx` |
Step 4: mean deviation of the mean,
M.D.(`barx` ) = `sum` n i-1 | xi - x| / n

Example1:

Find the mean deviation about the mean for the following data:

12, 5, 16, 14, 11, 5, 10, 15

Solution:

We proceed step-wise and get the following:

Step 1 Mean of the given data is `barx`

`barx`  = `(12+5+16+14+11+5+10+15)/8` = `88/8` = 11

Step 2 The deviations of the respective observations from the mean x, i.e., xi – x are

12–11,5–11,16–11,14–11,11–11,5–11,10–11,15–11,

or 1,–6,5,3,0,–6,–1,4

Step 3 The absolute values of the deviations, i.e.,|xi − x |are

1,6,5,3,0,6,1,4

Step 4 The required mean deviation of the mean is

M.D. (`barx`   ) =`sum` 8 i-1 |xi-x| / 8

=`(1+6+5+3+0+6+1+4)/8` = `26/8` = 3.25.

Example2:

Find the mean deviation about the mean for the following data:

15, 5, 12, 16, 12, 4, 9, 16,7.

Solution:

We proceed step-wise and get the following:

Step 1 Mean of the given data is `barx`

`barx`  = `(15+5+12+16+12+7+9+16+7)/9` = `99/9` = 11

Step 2 The deviations of the respective observations from the mean x, i.e., xi – x are

15–11,5–11,12–11,16–11,12–11,7–11,9–11,16–11,7-11.

or 4,–6,1,5,1,–4,–2,5,-4

Step 3 The absolute values of the deviations, i.e.,|xi − x |are

4,6,1,5,1,4,2,5,4

Step 4 The required mean deviation of the mean is

M.D. (`barx`   ) =`sum` 8 i-1 |xi-x| / 8

=`(4+6+1+5+1+4+2+5+4)/8` = `32/8` = 4.

Practice Abstract Algebra Exams

Abstract for algebra:

In algebra the algebraic expressions represent mathematical ideas and operations in a short way using symbols and variables.The algebra equation states that one expression names the same number as another expression. The symbol in algebra which can be assigned different numerical values is called a variables. Algebra uses known quantities to find the unknown quantities. Here it is about the practice for abstract algebra exams. I like to share this algebra 2 problems and solutions with you all through my article.


practice abstract algebra exams - Examples:


practice abstract algebra exams - Problem 1: Simple equations:

solving simple equation: 7x + 13 = 4x + 43.

Solution:

since 7x is larger than 4x,

we decide to shift the letter terms to left and the number terms to right side.

7x + 13 = 4x + 43

we want to remove 4x from the right side,

we can do so by subtracting 4x from both sides.

7x + 13 – 4x = 4x + 43 – 4x

3x + 13 = 43

we want to remove 13 from both sides,

we do so by subtracting 13 from both sides.

3x + 13 – 13= 43 – 13

3x = 30

Dividing both sides by 3.

3x/3 = 30 / 3

x = 10

check to substituting the x in as:

left side: 7(10) + 13 = 70 + 13 = 83

right side: 4 (10) + 43 = 40 + 43 = 83

practice abstract algebra exams - Problem 2: Algebraic expressions:

Simplify the algebraic expression: 17m² – 9m + 5m – 3m² – 7m + 11

solution:

By rearranging the given terms as,

we have,

=17m² – 3m² + 5m – 9m – 7m + 11

By equating, we get

= (17 – 3) m² + (5 – 9 – 7) m + 11

To simplify the equation as

=14m² + (– 4 – 7) m + 11

=14m² + (–11) m + 11

=14m² – 11m + 11.

This is the equation for the given algebraic expression.

practice abstract algebra exams - Problem 3: Algebraic identities:

Evaluate 102 × 104 without directly multiplying the two given numbers.

Solution:

Taking 102 as (100 + 2) and 104 as (100 + 4)

we get the multiplier as

= 102 × 104

Taking the multiplier as

= (100 + 2) × (100 + 4)

By multiplying and adding the identities we get,

= 100² + (2 + 4) 100 + 2 × 4

= 10000 + 6 × 100 + 8

= 10000 + 600 + 8

= 10608

This is the solution for the given algebraic identities.

Understanding Derivative of Sin Squared x is always challenging for me but thanks to all math help websites to help me out.
