if you have a spinner 1-4 and you spin it,what is the event space for landing on a even number

anonymous · Answer

find the probability ^_^, we have the followinf set of numbers from 1-4

1      2     3    4

number of even numbers in the set = 2
number of odd numbers in the set = 2

so the probability for landing on an even number is = (number of even numbers)/(total numbers found in the list)

= 2/4
= 1/2

Correct me if I'm wrong ^_^

anonymous · Answer

I think the event space is  {2,4}
The sample space is {1,2,3,4}

anonymous · Answer

hmmm, so what are you trying to say? :)

anonymous · Answer

It is not asking for the probability.  I think this person is just beginning to learn about probability and is learning the concept of sample space and event space.  I may be really wrong, but just my thoughts.

anonymous · Answer

you might have a point, I just computed the following from the way I have understood the question ^_^ , you may be right since I myself am not fully convinced of my answer either.

anonymous · Answer

probabilty and possible outcomes im learning

anonymous · Answer

so I guessed the logic of the Question right? lol?

anonymous · Answer

The probablity is 1/2
The sample space is {1,2,3,4}

I personally have never heard of the event space, but after reading online I think it is the subset of the sample space of the event you are trying to get.  So I would say

event space is {2,4}

maybe the question didn't ask about "that" event space you're talking about? maybe there's more than one? possibly? ^_^
