Let the sample space be S = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
Suppose the outcomes are equally likely. Compute the probability of the event E = 1, 2.

probability of the event E = 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Sample space, S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10},

Number of terms in sample S is;

n(S) = 10

We are given the event; E = {1, 2}

Thus, number of terms in event E is;

n(E) = 2

Now, Probability = favorable outcomes/total outcomes

Thus, the probability of the event E is;

P(E) = n(E)/n(S)

P(E) = 2/10

P(E) = 1/5
