Question

·then there are three ways the event can occur and only tve elements in the sample space How do you respond? A student carns that the probability of an event is Choose the correct answer below O A. The probability of an event is not a ratio and therefore must reflect the number of elements in the event or in the sample space O B. The probability of an event is not a ratio and does not necessarily reflect the number of elements in the event or in the sample space O C. The probablity of an event is a ratho and does not necessarily refet the number of esements in the event or in the sample space bilily of an event is a ratio and theretore reflects the number of elements in the event or in the sample space

Explanation / Answer

option C

That claim is incorrect. If the probability of an event occurring is 3/5 then this simply means that the event will occur 60% of the time. So if there are 100 experiments, then the event will occur 60 times. If there are 10 trials, then the event will occur 6 times. 3 out of 5 simply represents a proportion, it does not necessarily mean that the event will only occur three times.
