Answer:
a) 1/10
b) 1/2
c) 1/2
d) 2/5
Explanation:
Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.
Probability = Total event/Total sample space
Since there are ten ball in the bag numbered 1 to 10
S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
n(S) = 10
Total sample space = 10
a) If we are to get the probability of picking the number 7.
(E) = {7}
n(E) = 1
Event = 1
Pr(picking 7) = 1/10
b) a) If we are to get the probability of picking an odd number
(E) = {1, 3, 5, 7 , 9}
n(E) = 5
Event = 5
Pr(an odd number) = 5/10 = 1/2
c) a) If we are to get the probability of picking an even number
(E) = {2, 4, 6, 8,10}
n(E) = 5
Event = 5
Pr(an even number) = 5/10 = 1/2
d) a) If we are to get the probability of picking prime
(E) = {2, 3, 5, 7}
n(E) = 4
Event = 4
Pr(prime) = 4/10 = 2/5
