Question

suppose you roll a single die. find the number of elements in the elements in the event space for rolling a number less than 5.

Answer 1

Think what are the outcomes, and then think how many of those results are less than 5.

Answer 2

Either you roll a number less than 5
or you roll a 5

If the five possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, and 4) where you roll a number less than 5 are defined as a single event, then the number of elements in the event space is 2.

[This question is more about juggling the definitions of event, event space, and element than anything else.]

Answer 3

Careful, there is also a possibility of rolling higher than 5 (6, to be precise). There are 4 possible outcomes less than 5

Answer 4

thank you

Answer 5

no problemo
