Question

Suppose that a randomly generated list of numbers from 0 to 9 is being used to simulate an event that has a probability of success of 60%. Which of these groups of numbers could represent a success? A. 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 B. 0,1,2,3,4,5 C. 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 D. 0,1,2,3,4,5,6

Answer 1

B because it contains 40% of the possible results from the random list.
0,1,2,3 v 4,5,6,7,8,9
4 integers to 6 integers
40% success vs 60% fail

Answer 2

(B) 0,1,2,3,4,5

Explanation:

The randomly generated list of numbers is from 0 to 9. Therefore, the total numbers in list are 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9..

These numbers are used to stimulate an event that has a probability of success. We have ten numbers in total, therefore in order to get the numbers from 0 to 9 which have the probability of success of 60%, we take the numbers in ratio 6:4 that is 0,1,2,3,4,5:6,7,8,9.

Hence, the group of numbers that represent a success is 0,1,2,3,4,5.
