\(\frac{1}{5}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{2}{5}\)
\(\frac{3}{4}\)
Explanation
Let E demote the event of obtaining at least a 4
Then n(E) = 16 + 10 + 14 = 40
Hence, prob (E) = \(\frac{n(E)}{n(S)}\)
\( = \frac{40}{100}\)
\( = \frac{2}{5}\)
Then n(E) = 16 + 10 + 14 = 40
Hence, prob (E) = \(\frac{n(E)}{n(S)}\)
\( = \frac{40}{100}\)
\( = \frac{2}{5}\)
