A normally distributed data set has a mean of 25 and a standard deviation of 2.
Which percentage of the data falls between 23 and 25?

A given data set is normally distributed with a mean of 200 and a standard deviation of 5.
Which two values does 95% of the data fall between?

A
and B are events associated with an experiment with P( A) = .3 and P( B) = .5.
If A and B are independent, then what is the probability that A or B occurs?

A six-sided die, with a number from 1 to 6 on each side, is rolled twice.
What is the probability that two odd numbers are rolled consecutively?

A fast-food company is interested in knowing the probability of whether a customer viewed an advertisement for their new special on the internet or on television. They found that 37% of customers saw the advertisement on the internet, 20% saw it on television, and 12% saw it on both the internet and on television.
What is the probability that a randomly selected customer saw the advertisement on the internet or on television?

The probability of a breakdown on assembly line A is 12%. The probability of a breakdown on assembly line B is 16%. The probability that both assembly lines break down is 2%.
What is the probability that assembly line A or assembly line B break down?

An old piano has 88 keys, and 56 of them are out of tune, while the remaining keys are tuned properly. A child strikes a key on the piano at random.
What is the probability that the child strikes a properly tuned key?

A marketing company chooses a survey participant among two respondents: one female and one male. The chosen participant is then asked to rate either product A, B, or C.
What is the probability that the respondent was male and rated product B?

A bag contains 8 red, 4 green, and 9 blue marbles. One marble is drawn from the bag, not replaced, and then a second marble is drawn.
Which statement is always correct?

A company receives equipment from two factories: 38% from factory A, and all other equipment from factory B. Each factory has a percentage of equipment that is defective: 1% of factory A's equipment is defective, while 4% of factory B's equipment is defective.
If a piece of the company's equipment is selected at random, what is the probability that it is defective and from factory B?

A box contains one red ball, one purple ball, and one blue ball. Two balls are drawn from the box one after the other without replacing the first ball.

Where did you get these? They are all fairly basic problems. Have you not at least tried something?
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
