Which of the following is a characteristic of a simple event?
Which of the following is a characteristic of a simple event?
- Has a probability value of 0 or 1
- Represents a guarantee of an event's occurrence
- Involves more than one occurrence or trial
- Probability can be calculated straightforwardly (correct)
What is the formula for calculating the probability of a simple event?
What is the formula for calculating the probability of a simple event?
- P(event) = 1 / total number of possible outcomes
- P(event) = number of ways in which an event can happen / total number of possible outcomes (correct)
- P(event) = total number of possible outcomes / number of ways in which an event can happen
- P(event) = total number of possible outcomes - number of ways in which an event can happen
