Question

962598 Answer Save Question 17 (1 point) Consider the random experiment of selecting a playing card from a deck of 52 playing cards. Each card corresponds to a sample point with a 1/52 probability. How many sample points (outcomes) are there in the event that a red ace card is selected? O a) 1 O b) 2 c) 4 d) 26 Save Question 18 (1 point) Suppose that we have a sample space s = {E1, E2, E3, E sample points (outcomes). The following probability assignments apply: 4, E5, E6, E7}, where E1, E2/ , E7 denote the PLE1)-0.1, P(E2) = o.2, P(E3 ) = 0.15, P(E4) = 0.2, P(E5)-0.1, P(Eg) = 0.05, and P(E7) = 0.2.

Explanation / Answer

In a deck of 52 cards, there are four aces. Out of four aces, two are red and two are black.  

So in the event that a red ace card is selected, number of possible outcomes are 2.

Hence the correct option is b) 2.
