Question

The table gives a set of outcomes and their probabilities. Let A be the event "the outcome is greater than 4". Find P(A). Outcome Probability 1 0.46 2 0.16 3 0.07 4 0.02 5 0.01 6 0.13 7 0.04 8 0.02 9 0.03 10 0.06

Answer 1

Given the information on the table, we can find the probability of the event A = {the outcome is greater than 4} in the following way:

`\begin{gathered} P(x>4)=P(5)+P(6)+P(7)+P(8)+P(9)+P(10)^{} \\ =0.01+0.13+0.04+0.02+0.03+0.06=0.29 \\ \Rightarrow P(x>4)=0.29 \end{gathered}`

therefore, the probability of event A is 0.29
