Question

fill in the blank. the classical approach to probability requires that the outcomes are the classical approach to probability requires that the outcomes are equally likely. rare. positive. listed.

Explanation:

The classical probability formula is \(P(A)=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}\). This formula is valid when all outcomes in the sample space are equally likely. For example, when rolling a fair six - sided die, each of the six outcomes (\(1,2,3,4,5,6\)) has an equal probability of \(\frac{1}{6}\). If outcomes were not equally likely (e.g., a weighted die), the classical approach would not give accurate probability values. The terms "rare", "positive", and "listed" do not relate to the fundamental requirement of the classical probability approach.

Answer:

equally likely.
