Question

Explain why you cannot calculate the probability that a randomly selected passenger weighs more than 200 pounds?

Answer 1

Answer:

We cannot calculate the probability  that a randomly selected passenger weighs more than 200 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

We cannot calculate the probability  that a randomly selected passenger weighs more than 200 pounds because we do not know the number of possible outcomes, the events , sample space or the sample size. Probability is calculated  with frequency or occurrences or how much certainty there is.It is a number between 0 and 1. 1 indicates certainty and  0 indicates impossibility. Without a range or frequency how can we depict the possibility or impossibility of an occurrence of 200 pounds.
