Question
What is the probability that a number selected at random from the number 1,2,2,3,3,3, 4, 4, 4, 4 will be their average?
Solution
Given no’s are 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4
Total no. of possible outcomes = 10
Average of the no’s =`"sum of no's"/"total no's"`=`(1+2+2+3+3+3+4+4+4+4)/10`=`30/10`= 3
E ⟶ event of getting 3
No. of favourable outcomes = 3 {3, 3, 3}
P(E) =`"No.of favorable outcomes"/"Total no.of possible outcomes"`
P(E) =3/10
