Question

question 7 of 25
a randomly generated list of integers from 0 to 4 is being used to simulate an
event, with the number 3 representing a success. what is the estimated
probability of a success?

a. 40%
b. 25%
c. 50%
d. 20%

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the total number of possible outcomes

The integers are from 0 to 4. So the total number of possible outcomes \(n = 5\) (the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4).

Step2: Determine the number of successful outcomes

The number 3 represents a success. So the number of successful outcomes \(m=1\).

Step3: Calculate the probability

The probability formula is \(P=\frac{m}{n}\). Substituting \(m = 1\) and \(n = 5\), we get \(P=\frac{1}{5}=0.2\).
To convert to a percentage, we multiply by 100: \(0.2\times100 = 20\%\).

Answer:

D. 20%
