Answer 2

Correct Answer is option D i.e., 1.

Explanation:

Probability of Event E is given by,

`P(E) = (No. favourable outcome of event E)/(Total No. of outcome)`

Jamaal is only candidate running in class treasurer election.

There for Total No. of outcome = 1

Here Event E is Jamaal win the Election.

So, No. of favorable outcome = 1

∴
`P(E)=(1)/(1)`

P(E) = 1

This type of event is called SURE EVENT Because probability of sure event is always 1.

The Probability of jamaal wining the election is 1.

So, Option D is correct.
