Event
Description of Event
A. Selected number is an odd number greater than 50
B. Selected number is an odd number less than 20
C . Selected number is even

Answer 1

Event B has the smallest probability and Even C has the greatest probability

Explanation:

There are more odd number greater than 50 than odd numbers less than 20

So the probability of selecting an odd number greater than 50 is greater than the probability of selecting an odd numbers less than 20

There are more even numbers than odd numbers greater than 50

So the probability of selecting an even number is greater than the probability of selecting an odd number greater than 50

Wrap up: Event B has the smallest probability and Even C has the greatest probability
