Question

A number x is chosen from the numbers -4, - 3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4. Find the probability that x <4.

Answer 1

Answer:

8/9

Explanation:

Given a set of numbers such that,

-4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

Now, a number is chosen from them.

To find the Probability that the chosen number, x < 4.

We know that,

Probability = Favourable Outcomes/Possible Outcomes.

Now, we have,

Total possible outcomes = 9

And, No. of favourable outcomes, i.e., no. of outcomes which satisfies x < 4 = 8.

Therefore, we will get,

Probability = 8/9

Hence, the Probability of the number chosen that it is, x < 4 will be 8/9.
