An event may contain sample points that are not in the original sample space of the experiment. For example, the experiment of rolling two dice has the following sample space:
 
  (1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6),
   (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6), (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6),
   (5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6), (6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)
 
  However, the event of rolling a sum of at least 11 on the two dice is 11, 12.
  A) True B) False

Q. 2

In any experiment with exactly four sample points in the sample space, the probability of each sample point is .25.
 
  A) True B) False

Q. 3

In some experiments, we assign subjective probabilities, which can be interpreted as our degree of belief in the outcome.
 
  A) True B) False

Q. 4

The probability of a sample point is usually taken to be the relative frequency of the occurrence of the sample point in a very long series of repetitions of the experiment.
 
  A) True B) False

Q. 5

A statistical experiment can be almost any act of observation as long as the outcome is uncertain.
 
  A) True B) False

Q. 6

An experiment consists of randomly choosing a number between 1 and 10. Let E be the event that the number chosen is even. List the sample points in E.
 
  A) 5 B) 1, 3, 5, 7, 9
  C) 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 D) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Q. 7

Suppose that an experiment has five equally likely outcomes. What probability is assigned to each of the sample points?
 
  A) .5 B) .05 C) .2 D) 1
