Question

Express the indicated degree of likelihood as a probability value.Your mother did not die two years before you were born.O A. 1OB. 0.5OC. 0OD. 0.25

Answer 1

Step 1: Theorem

$\text{Probability of any event = }\frac{N\text{umber of required outcomes}}{N\text{umber of total possible outcome}}$

Step 2:

In this case, there are only two outcomes: Death or Alive

Possible outcomes = (death , alive)

Total possible outcomes = 2

The required outcome 'does not die', meaning she is alive (alive)

Number of required outcomes = 1

Step 3: Final answer

Probability of not die two years before you were born

$\begin{gathered} =\frac{1}{2} \\ =\text{ 0.5} \end{gathered}$

Option B is the correct answer
