Question

In calculating the probability of losing a game, you told a friend that your textbook referred to a loss as a "favorable event." Your friend challenged you and said that a loss is not favorable. Choose the best response.

Answer 1

Answer:

Loss is the favorable event

Step-by-step explanation:

In probability, a favorable event is the event of our interest.

Since in calculating the probability of losing a game, the loss is our event of interest, so loss is the favorable event here.

Probability of losing a game = $\frac{number of favorable outcome}{total number of outcome}$

                                               = $\frac{number of losses}{total number of outcome}$

Best Response is Loss is a favorable event.
