Question

1. Identify the following probability values. a. What is the probability of an event that is certain to occur? 1 b. What is the probability of an impossible event? c. A sample space consists of 20 separate events that are equally likely. What is the probability of each? d. On a true/false test, what is the probability of answering a question correctly if you make a random guess? e. On a multiple-choice test with five possible answers for each question, what is the probability of answering a question correctly if you make a random guess? PCmoltipie Choce)2

Explanation / Answer

1.

a. Probability of an event that is certain to occur = 1

b. Probability of an impossible event = 0

c. Probability of each event = 1 / 20 = 0.05

d. Probability of answering a question correctly if you make a random guess = 1 / 2 = 0.5

e. Probability of answering a question correctly if you make a random guess = 1 / 5 = 0.2
