Fill in the blanks

If e1, e2, e3, e4 are the four elementary outcomes in a sample space and P(e1) =.1, P(e2) = .5, P (e3) = .1, then the probability of e4 is ______.

Answers (1)

Given data:

P (e1) = 0.1

P (e2) = 0.5

P (e3) = 0.1

Now, we know that,

Sum of all probabilities = 1

Thus,

P (e1) + P (e2) + P (e3) + P (e4) = 1

0.1+ 0.5 + 0.1 + P (e4) = 1

P (e4) = 1 – 0.7

Thus, P (e4) = 0.3

Answer: 0.3
