A gambler states that the probability of getting a “1” and a “2” when rolling two four-sided dice is 1/4 times 1/4 (or 1/16) because the dice are equally likely to land on any of the four sides and the results of the two dice rolls are independent. Is this an example of a theoretical probability or an empirical probability?

A random sample of records of home sales from March 1 to July 1, 2010 from the files maintained by the Charlottesville Board of Realtors gives the Price (in dollars) and Size (in square feet) of 32 homes. The regression model is as follows: Predicted Price = 47,820 + [ 61 × (Size) ] In this context, does the y-intercept have a reasonable interpretation?

Male players at the high school, college, and professional ranks use regulation basketballs that weigh on average 22 ounces with a standard deviation of 1 ounce. Assume that the weights of the basketballs are Normally distributed. If a regulation basketball is randomly selected, what is the probability that it will weigh exactly 22.5 ounces?
