Question

a randomly generated list of numbers from 0 to 4 is being used to simulate an event, with the numbers 3 and 4 representing a success. what is the estimated probability of a success?

a. 25%
b. 75%
c. 40%
d. 60%

Explanation:

Step1: Determine total outcomes

Numbers from 0 to 4: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4. So total outcomes = 5.

Step2: Determine successful outcomes

Success is 3 or 4, so successful outcomes = 2.

Step3: Calculate probability

Probability = $\frac{\text{successful outcomes}}{\text{total outcomes}}$ = $\frac{2}{5}$ = 0.4 = 40%.

Answer:

C. 40%
