Question

Can 0.628 be the probability of an outcome in a sample space yes or no

Answer 1

Probability is measured by the favorable cases with respect to the total number of possible cases (sample space). It is a ratio.

The probability of an event can be represented as a number from 0 to 1 (both inclusive) or fractions of it. It can, therefore, be represented as a decimal number (like the presented case). Some others represent it as percentages.

Thus, the number 0.628 can represent the probability of an outcome in a sample space. It can be rewritten as a fraction, decimal, or percentage:

`(628)/(1000)=(157)/(250)=0.628\Rightarrow(62.8)/(100)`

(The last one is also represented as 62.8%).

We can say that the probability is 628 favorable cases over 1000 possible cases or 157 over 250 possible cases.

Hence, the answer is YES (it represents the probability of an outcome in a sample space).
