Show hintHide hint
Think about situations where you cannot predict the outcome.
Question 2.
List one example of a finite random experiment.
Show hintHide hint
Reflect on experiments with limited results.
3Question 3.
What is a random experiment?
- A process with certain outcomes
- A process with uncertain outcomes
- A process that cannot be repeated
Show hintHide hint
Focus on the uncertainty aspect when choosing your answer.
4Question 4.

- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about 'finite' meanings.
Question 5.
You are designing a bridge and must estimate the probability of material failure. If previous tests show 5 failures in 100 attempts, what is the probability of failure?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the formula for probability based on outcomes.
Question 6.
