Question

The probability of an event

a. is the product of the probabilities of the sample points in the event.
b. is the minimum of the probabilities of the sample points in the event.
c. is the maximum of the probabilities of the sample points in the event.
d. is the sum of the probabilities of the sample points in the event.

Answer 1

Answer:

d. is the sum of the probabilities of the sample points in the event.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we have a fair coin then the the sample space S is given by {(H), (T)}

the head and tail are the sample points.

the probability of sample space will be given by the sum of probability of head and tail. P(S)= P(A) + P(B)

       1= 1/2+ 1/2

The total probability of the sample space always equals 1

The individual probabilities add up to to give the probability of the sample space.
