Question

A randomly generated list of integers from O to 4 is being used to simulate anevent, with the number 3 representing a success. What is the estimatedprobability of a success?

Answer 1

We have that:

• A randomly generated list of, integers from 0 to 4 i,s being used to simulate an event.

• The number 3 represents a success.

And we need to find the estimated probability of success.

We can achieve that if we know that:

1. We have the following sample space for the experiment - we have a list of integers from 0 to 4:

`\Omega=\lbrace0,1,2,3,4\rbrace`

2. Then the probability of having a 3 is:

`P(3)=(1)/(5)=0.2\Rightarrow20\%`

We have one possibility of getting a 3 (one possibility) out of 5 possibilities (0, 1, 2, 3, 4).

Therefore, the estimated probability of success is 20% (option D.)
