Question

If an experiment consists of five outcomes with P(O 1 ) = 0.10,P(O 2 ) = 0.20,P(O 3 ) = 0.30,P(O 4 ) = 0.25,then P(O 5 ) isA) 0.75B) 0.15C) 0.50D) Cannot be determined from the information given.

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The sum of probabilities of all outcomes in an experiment must equal 1. Adding the given probabilities: 0.10 + 0.20 + 0.30 + 0.25 = 0.85. Therefore, P(O 5 ) = 1 - 0.85 = 0.15.

If an experiment consists of five outcomes with P(O₁) = 0.10,P(O₂) = 0.20,P(O₃) = 0.30,P(O₄) = 0.25,then P(O₅) is

A) 0.75
B) 0.15
C) 0.50
D) Cannot be determined from the information given.
