Question

A sample space is shown below.

Answer 1

Answer:

$Pr(E) = \frac{1}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Compound event E

replace "image" with E in the question

Required

The probability of E

From the question, 4 outcomes were shaded.

This implies that

$n(E) = 4$

And we have:

$n(S) = 36$ --- Sample size

The probability of E is:

$Pr(E) = \frac{n(E)}{n(S)}$

This gives:

$Pr(E) = \frac{4}{36}$

Simplify

$Pr(E) = \frac{1}{9}$
