Question

the table gives a set of outcomes and their probabilities. let a be the event \the outcome is greater than 5\. find p(a). outcome probability 1 0.083 2 0.013 3 0.013 4 0.384 5 0.148 6 0.227 7 0.014 8 0.118

Explanation:

Step1: Identify outcomes >5

Outcomes greater than 5: 6, 7, 8.

Step2: Get their probabilities

P(6)=0.227, P(7)=0.014, P(8)=0.118.

Step3: Sum the probabilities

$P(A) = 0.227 + 0.014 + 0.118$
$= 0.359$

Answer:

0.359
