Question

A teacher assigns a score from 1 to 4 to each student project. The table below shows the probability distribution of the scores for a randomly selected student. Which score is most likely?

Answer 1

The complete data is:

Score: X Probability: P(X)

1 0.06

2 0.20

3 0.48

4 0.26

Given:

Score: X Probability: P(X)

1      0.06

2     0.20

3     0.48

4     0.26

To find:

Which score is most likely?

Solution:

The phrase "most likely" refers to the more probability or something that represents "more"

From given options, 3rd option value is more than the rest of the options, that is, 0.48

Therefore, for x = 3, P(x) = 0.48 is the most likely score.
