Question

Let sample space upper s equals startset 1 comma 2 comma 3 comma 4 comma 5 comma 6 comma 7 comma 8 comma 9 comma 10 endset. suppose the outcomes are equally likely. compute the probability of the event upper e equals startset 5 comma 8 endset.

Answer 1

Answer:  1/5

Step-by-step explanation: sample space S={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}

outcomes are equally likely means that they have equal chances of their occurance

E={5,8}

P(E)=number of outcomes favorable to E/total number of outcomes

       =2/10

       =1/5

Answer 2

The probability of the event upper e equals starts 5, 8 and set is 1/5.

What is the probability?

Probability is a measure of the likelihood of an event to occur. Many events cannot be predicted with total certainty.

The outcomes are equally likely.

Sample space = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}.

n(S) = 10

Event E = {5, 8}.

n(E) = 2

The probability of the event is given by;

$\rm Probability \ of\ event \ E =\dfrac{ n(E)}{n(S)}\\\\\rm Probability \ of\ event \ E =\dfrac{2}{10}\\\\\rm Probability \ of\ event \ E =\dfrac{1}{5}$

Hence, the probability of the event upper e equals starts 5, 8 and set is 1/5.
