Question

Let the sample space be S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10). Suppose the outcomes are equally likely. Compute the probability of the event E = {5, 8).

P(E)=[(Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)

Answer 1

The probability that the event 'E'

P(E) = 0.2

Explanation:

Explanation:-

Given that the sample space

S = { 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}

Total number of exhaustive events n(S) = 10

Given that the outcomes are equally likely

Let 'E' be the event { 5,8}

Favourable events n(E) = 2

The probability that the event 'E'

`P(E) = (n(E))/(n(S))`

`P(E) = (2)/(10) = (1)/(5) = 0.2`
