Question

for what value of x,5/x may possible probability of an event​

Answer 1

for any positive value of x equal to or greater than 5, 5/x can be a possibility.

this is so because probability of any event can never be greater than one.

Answer 2

Answer:

FOR ANY VALUE OF X WHICH  IS GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 5 THE FUNCTION  $\frac{5}{x}$  CAN BE PROBABILITY FOR AN  EVENT i.e $x\geq 5$

Step-by-step explanation:

By the definition of probability it is clear that probability of an event lies in between 0 and 1 or it is equal to 1 (sure event) or 0 (impossible event)

Since the probability of the given event is 5/x it must satisfy the above condition,

therefore, $0\leq \frac{5}{x} \leq 1$

Consider $0\leq \frac{5}{x}$

It is clear that 5>0

For $\frac{5}{x}$ to be greater than zero x must be greater than zero  ( It is clear that $\frac{5}{x}$ is not equal to zero for any value of x and also x must not be equal to zero)

i.e x>0 ...............................(1)

Consider   $\frac{5}{x} \leq 1$

therefore $x\geq 5$................(2)

From (1) and (2)  

$x\geq 5$

so for the function $\frac{5}{x}$ to be probability for an event, x can take up the values which are greater than or equal to 5.
