Question

The table gives a set of outcomes and their probabilities. Let A be the event "the outcome is greater than 4". Let B be the event "the outcome is less than or equal to 1". Find P(A or B). Outcome Probability 1 0.29 2 0.07 3 0.53 4 0.05 5 0.05 6 0.01

Answer 1

solution

For this case we want to find this probability:

P(A)= P(outcome is greater than 4)

And replacing we got:

P(A)= 0.05+0.01= 0.06

P(A)= 0.06
