Question

ne table gives a set of outcomes and their probabilities. Let A be the event "the outcome is greater an 8". Find P(A). Outcome Probability 1 0.207 2 0.048 3 0.17 4 0.06 5 0.148 6 0.092 7 0.036 8 0.037 9 0.046 10 0.156

Answer 1

Given data:

The given table is shown.

The expression for the probability that the outcome is greater than 8 is,

`\begin{gathered} P(x)=P(9)+P(10) \\ =0.046+0.156 \\ =0.202 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the probability that the outcome is greater than 8 is 0.202.
