Question

1 point) For each problem, select the best response. (a) A phenomenon is observed many, many times under identical conditions. The proportion of times a particular event occurs is recorded. This proportion represents A. the variance of the event. B. the distribution of the event. C. the probability of the event. D. the correlation of the event. (b) The collection of all possible outcomes of a random phenomenon is called A. the sample space. B. the distribution. C. the probability. D. a census. E. None of the above.

Answer 1

For question 1, the correct answer is option C

For question 2, the correct answer is option B

Explanation:

Problem A

A phenomenon is observed many times, under identical conditions. The proportion of times a particular event occurs is referred to as the probability of the event.

The correct option is C

* Use the instance of the tossing of a coin. The phenomenon that is observed here could be "the face of the coin that shows up after each toss". The number of times this is observed is = number of times the coin is tossed. The phrase "Under identical conditions" would mean that the coin is tossed in an identical manner e.g. 6feet high each time. The proportion of times a particular event (either HEAD showing up or TAIL showing up) occurs is the probability of that event's occurrence!

Problem B

The collection of all possible outcomes of a random phenomenon (in a given experiment) is called the distribution of the random phenomenon.

The correct option is B
