Answer:
Hi mate ,
If P(E)=1 the E is sure event .
Answer:
option (A) is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
As we know that probability is the ratio of favorable number of outcomes to the total number of outcomes.
Let us consider an event E.
Therefore P(E) = Favorable number of outcomes/Total number of outcomes.
Now it is given that P(E) = 1.
Therefore P(E) = Favorable number of outcomes/Total number of outcomes=1.
Therefore a favorable number of outcomes is equal to the total number of outcomes.
This is only possible if it is called a sure event or a certain event.
For example what is the probability of getting a number less than 7 when a dice is thrown.
As we know in a dice the possible outcomes are (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6)
So the favorable number of outcomes is equal to the total number of outcomes.
Therefore P(E) = 6/6=1 which is a sure event or a certain event.
So this is the required answer.
Hence option (A) is correct.
