A probability experiment is conducted in which the sample space of the experiment is S = {1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7,8,9, 10,11, 12}, event F = {3,4,5,6}, and event G = {9, 10,11, 12}. Assume that each outcome is equally likely. List the outcomes in F or G. Find P(F or G) by counting the number of outcomes in F or G. Determine P(F or G) using the general addition rule. List the outcomes in F or G. Choose the correct answer below. Find P(F or G) by counting the number of outcomes in F or G. PIF or G) = Determine P(F or G) using the general addition rule. PIF or G) =
Solution
F or G
you just need to take the numbers that are in each group
F----3,4,5,6
G----9,10,11,12
F or G = 3,4,5,6,9,10,11,12
for the probability you just need to count the number for F or G and divided by the number of space S
P( F or G ) = 8 /12 = 0.67
8---- number of space of F or G
12 --- number of space of S
