Question

What is the missing probability from the line?
Give your answer as a fraction in its simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

sample space is 8

outcome is

therefore p(A) =1/8

Answer 2

CONCEPT:

The concept of probability is used here. Probability is actually a possibility of a random event to happen.

sample space: set of all possible outcomes.

Here the answer is 1/8.

GIVEN:

Here the length of the total line is 1 unit.

The line is divided into 8 parts.

FIND:

We have to find the missing probability ,which given here as the probability of one part out of 8 parts.

SOLUTION:

We want to find the probability of the first part out of total 8 parts given here.

Let the probability of part to find P(A).

Here there are total of 8 pieces. So the sample space is 8.

So the probability of taking "A" part (which is one part out of given 8 parts)from 8 parts=1/8.

so P(A)=missing probability=1/8.

So the probability of the given part out of the total sample space is 1/8.
