Question

A random number generator is used to select an integer from 1 to 5050 ​(inclusively). What is the probability of selecting the integer 2424​?

Answer 1

The probability of selecting the integer 2424​ is 0.0000198.

Explanation:

The sample size of the set of random number generated is, N = 5050.

The integer 2424 is consisted in the range 1 - 5050.

The probability of an event, say E, is:

`P(E)=(Favorable\ outcomes)/(Total\ no.\ of\ outcomes)`

The probability of selecting the integer 2424​ is:

`P(2424)=(1)/(5050) = 0.0000198`

Thus, the probability of selecting the integer 2424​ is 0.0000198.
