The simple space of an experiment is s equals ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). If each outcome is equally likely to occur, what is expected to the probability of each outcome?

Answer 1

Since each outcome is equally likely to occur in a simple space, the probability of each outcome is calculated by taking 1 divided by the total number of outcomes in the sample space.

In this case, there are 5 possible outcomes in the sample space, so the probability of each outcome is:

P(1) = 1/5 = 0.2
P(2) = 1/5 = 0.2
P(3) = 1/5 = 0.2
P(4) = 1/5 = 0.2
P(5) = 1/5 = 0.2

Therefore, the expected probability of each outcome in the simple space is 0.2.
