Question 1

Statistical information: 85% of students who study hard pass exams. Lisa studies very hard. What is the most reasonable inference?
This is probabilistic reasoning. The statistical evidence (85% of students who study hard pass exams. Lisa studies very hard.) doesn't guarantee certainty, but it provides strong support for: Lisa will probably pass

Remember: Probability inferences are about likelihood, not certainty.

Question 2

Statistical information: 85% of students who study hard pass exams. Lisa studies very hard. What is the most reasonable inference?
This is probabilistic reasoning. The statistical evidence (85% of students who study hard pass exams. Lisa studies very hard.) doesn't guarantee certainty, but it provides strong support for: Lisa will probably pass

Remember: Probability inferences are about likelihood, not certainty.

Question 3

Statistical information: The probability of rain given dark clouds is 85%. The sky has dark clouds. What is the most reasonable inference?
This is probabilistic reasoning. The statistical evidence (The probability of rain given dark clouds is 85%. The sky has dark clouds.) doesn't guarantee certainty, but it provides strong support for: It will probably rain

Remember: Probability inferences are about likelihood, not certainty.

Question 4

Statistical information: 80% of startups fail within 3 years. Alex just started a company. What is the most reasonable inference?
This is probabilistic reasoning. The statistical evidence (80% of startups fail within 3 years. Alex just started a company.) doesn't guarantee certainty, but it provides strong support for: Alex's company will probably fail within 3 years

Remember: Probability inferences are about likelihood, not certainty.

Question 5

Statistical information: 95% of smokers who smoke for 20+ years develop respiratory issues. Bob has smoked for 25 years. What is the most reasonable inference?
This is probabilistic reasoning. The statistical evidence (95% of smokers who smoke for 20+ years develop respiratory issues. Bob has smoked for 25 years.) doesn't guarantee certainty, but it provides strong support for: Bob will likely develop respiratory issues

Remember: Probability inferences are about likelihood, not certainty.

Question 6

Statistical information: 80% of startups fail within 3 years. Alex just started a company. What is the most reasonable inference?

Remember: Probability inferences are about likelihood, not certainty.

Question 8

Statistical information: 75% of rainy days are cloudy. Today is rainy. What is the most reasonable inference?
This is probabilistic reasoning. The statistical evidence (75% of rainy days are cloudy. Today is rainy.) doesn't guarantee certainty, but it provides strong support for: Today is probably cloudy

Remember: Probability inferences are about likelihood, not certainty.

Question 9

Statistical information: The probability of rain given dark clouds is 85%. The sky has dark clouds. What is the most reasonable inference?
