Question

The sample space of an experiment contains 4 outcomes O 1 , O 2 , O 3 , O 4  , with associated probabilities w 1 = 0.2 , w 2 = 0.25 and w 3 = 0.1 . What is P r [ { O 2 , O 4 } ]  ?

Expert Solution
step1

we are given:

P(o1) =0.2

P(o2) = 0.25

P(o3) = 0.1

therefore P(o4)= 1-0.2-0.25-0.1= 0.45

to find P(o2,o4)
