Question

Determine whether each number could be the probability of an event. Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Each number could be the probability of an event

Step-by-step explanation:

In words, this means that the probability of an event must be a number between 0 and 1 (inclusive). In words: The probability of an impossible event is 0. In words: The probability of an absolutely certain event is 1.

• All positive or all whole numbers can be probabilities.
• Numbers greater than one can be probabilities while numbers less than one cannot.
• States that anything that can be turned into a percent can represent a probability.
• Only probabilities related to a six-sided number cube will work.

The odds of an event is the ratio of the probability of an event to the probability of its complement. In other words, it is the ratio of favorable outcomes to unfavorable outcomes. We say the odds are "3 to 2," which means 3 favorable outcomes to every 2 unfavorable outcomes, and we write 3 : 2.

Divide the number of events by the number of possible outcomes. This will give us the probability of a single event occurring. In the case of rolling a 3 on a die, the number of events is 1 (there's only a single 3 on each die), and the number of outcomes is 6.
