Question

You randomly choose one of the following numbers shown. Find the probability the event can occur choosing a number greater than 4. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

Answer 1

Answer:  7/11

======================================================

Explanation:

The event space is the set of outcomes we want to happen.

The event space is {5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11} which consists of getting a value greater than 4. There are 7 items in this event space. Let A = 7.

The sample space consists of all possible outcomes. The sample space is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11} and there are 11 items in the sample space. Let B = 11.

Divide the values of A and B to get the answer we're after

A/B = 7/11

This is the probability of selecting a value greater than 4.
