Assuming that all sample space outcomes are equally likely, find the probability of each of the events given in part .
Solutions
VerifiedAssuming that all sample space outcomes are equally likely, we will determine the probability of each of the events by using the following equation :
From the previous tasks, we have determined that the total number of sample space outcomes is .
The probability of the first event from part b is :
Moreover, the probability of the second event from part b is :
To be able to find the probability of each of the events given in part b, we count the number of outcomes in each event, then divide it by the total number of outcomes in the sample space which is .
