Question

Probability is a measure of how likely an event is to occur. write the probability of the following statements:

(a) This event is impossible: ______
(b) This event will occur more often than not, but is not extremely likely:___________
(c) This event is extremely unlikely, but it will occur once in a while in a long sequence of trials:_________
(d) This event will occur for sure:_____________

Answer 1

Explanation:

This is a probability related question, let the event be E

We know that the likelihood of an event happening is given as

Pr(E)=1

if an event will not occur the probability is

Pr(E)=0

a. This event is impossible: Pr(E)=0

b.This event will occur more often than not, but is not extremely likely:

Pr(E)=0<E>0.5

c.This event is extremely unlikely, but it will occur once in a while in a long sequence of trials:

Pr(E)=0<E<0.5

d.This event will occur for sure: Pr(E)=0
