Question

Calculate the (modeled) probability P(E) using the given information, assuming that all outcomes are equally likely.

Answer 1

The probability P(E) is 13/15.

According to the statement

we have given that the S = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}, E = {1, 5, 7}

And we have to find the probability P(E).

So, For this purpose

Recall the formula for the probability of an event E in case when all outcomes are equally likely:

P(E)= n(E) /n(S)

in which S is the sample space.

But we have the S = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9},

so, n(S) = Sum of all outcomes / number of outcomes

n(S) = 1+3+5+7+9 /5

n(S) = 25 /5

n(S) = 5 and

For n(E) = Sum of all outcomes / number of outcomes

n(E) = 1+5+7 /3

n(E) = 13 /3

n(E) = 13 /3

Substitute these values in the above written formula then

P(E)= n(E) /n(S)

P(E)=  (13/3)/ 5

P(E)= 13 /15

So, The probability P(E) is 13/15.
