Uniform Probability Models Quick Check
1. What is a uniform probability model?
A uniform probability model is a type of probability distribution where all outcomes are equally likely to occur.
2. Give an example of a uniform probability model.
An example of a uniform probability model is rolling a fair six-sided die, where each number (1-6) has an equal chance of being rolled.
3. How can you calculate the probability of an event occurring in a uniform probability model?
In a uniform probability model, the probability of an event occurring can be calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes.
4. What is the probability of rolling a 4 on a fair six-sided die in a uniform probability model?
Since there is only one favorable outcome (rolling a 4) and there are a total of six possible outcomes, the probability of rolling a 4 is 1/6 or approximately 0.167.
