Answer #1

The answer is:

Finite probability means that there are a limited number of outcomes. All the other experiments except for rolling a dice 5000 times definitely have finite outcomes. The total number of outcomes is given by which tends to infinity.

Side note:- All other experiments have a finite sample space

  • Rolling a die has 6 possible outcomes
  • Shooting a basketball at a hoop has two outcomes - either a basket or not a basket
  • Selecting a quarter from 10 quarters is a single outcome

Consider an experiment where we roll 7 fair 6-sided dice simultaneously (the results of the dice are independent from each other). (a) What is the probability that exactly 3 of the dice are greater than or equal to 5? (b) Suppose now that each of the 7 6-sided dice are weighted the same such that the probability of rolling a 6 is 0.5, and every other side that is not a 6 has equal probability of being rolled. If we...
