Question

when a probability is expressed as a fraction, what does the bottom number represents A. the number of possible out comes B. the number of likely out comes C. the number of times a trial is repeated D. the percent chance that even will happen

Answer 1

Answer:

A. the number of possible out comes

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the chance of an event/something to happen.

The formula is;

Probability = the number of ways of achieving success/Total number of outcomes

The numerator position will have a value to show the number of ways of achieving success while the denominator will show the number of outcomes

For example the number of possible outcomes when a coin is flipped is 2, a tail or a head. So the probability of getting a head is P(H)= 1/2 where 2 is the number of outcomes
