a. 6 out of 37, or 6/37 b. (5+?+8)/37, or ?/37 (do you see?)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So would it be like P(A) = 6/37?

OpenStudy (rulnick):

Well, yes, the answer to (a) is 6/37. I wouldn't write P(A) though, that is "the probability of A" and there is no event "A" defined here.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, so there is no formula?

OpenStudy (rulnick):

Right, I think the way the problem is stated it is reasonable to just answer with the fraction 6/37.

OpenStudy (rulnick):

If you want to be wordy, you could write P(Pat scores between 10 and 15 points in a game) = 6/37.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Also , it asks me what kind of example of probability it is? And okay! Thank you/ :)

OpenStudy (rulnick):

I think they may be looking for the word "experimental" but check your book or notes. The language varies.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Experimental is one of the options! Thanks. :)

OpenStudy (rulnick):

welcome

Why is it? If you don't mind explaining.
