Simple probability question; Attachment below.
it really is simple after you figure out what \(P(4)\) is, because then you multiply the result by \(600\)
the question really comes down to finding \(P(4)\) any ideas, or you want a hint
Hint please..
the total probability is 1 you have already used up \(\frac{3}{4}\) of it on \(P(1), P(2), P(3)\) how much is left?
1/4 is left for the other three, so that means that I would have to find 1/4 of 600 then divide it by 3 to get the Pr(4)?
that is one way to look at it, yes
i would have said what is left is \(\frac{1}{4}\) and since the other three are equally likely they must each be \(\frac{1}{12}\) but it amounts to the same thing, i.e. you will get the same answer in either case
Thanks for your help @satellite73 :D
