Answer:
infinite solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
Dividing the number of successful outcomes by the number of possible outcomes is the definition of the probability of the given event.
P(E)=n(E)/n(S)
example. let the Experiment be throwing a dice. The sample space, all the possible outcomes, is the set S={1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 } and n(S)=6
Let the even E be: getting an even number. The successful outcomes set is E {2, 4, 6 } and n(E)=3
So probability of getting an even number is P(E)=n(E)/n(S)=3/6=0.5
Answer: Probability of the given Event
let x be how far up the wall ladder reaches
by Pythagoras theorem
x^2+5^2=13^2
x^2 =(13^2)-(5^2)
x= square root of 144
x= 12 or x =-12(rej,x>0)
hence ladder reaches 12 foot up the wall
