Question

Let the sample space be S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}. Suppose the outcomes are equally likely. Compute the probability of the event E={2, 4}.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

we have given sample space = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}

favorable outcomes E={2,4}

we know that probability is defined as the ratio of favorable otcomes to the sample space

probability $P=\frac{favorable\ outcomes}{ sample\ space }$

we have  favorable outcomes E={2,4} that is  favorable outcomes=2

and sample sapce =  {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}

so the probability $p=\frac{2}{10}=0.2$
