Question

If a number X is chosen at random from the numbers -2 ,-1 ,0 ,1 ,2 what is the probability that x square smaller than 2?

Answer 1

the number x is chosen 1

Answer 2

Answer:

The probability that x square smaller than 2 is 3 / 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Numbers = -2, -1, 0, 1 , 2

Squares of the numbers :

( - 2 ) ^ 2 = 4

( - 1 ) ^ 2 = 1

( 0 ) ^ 2 = 0

( 1 ) ^ 2 = 1

( 2 ) ^ 2 = 4

According to question,

x^2 should be smaller than 2

So,

Possible outcomes = 1, 0, 1

Probability = Possible Outcomes / Total outcomes

Substituting the values,

Probability = 3 / 5

Hence,

The probability that x square smaller than 2 is 3 / 5
