What is the probability of passing a subject?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My prof gave me a question, it says "What is the probability of passing Discrete Structures?" Discrete Structures our subject

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Say 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Confidence.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lmao

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not playing here.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's not like you gave us any information to work with.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's all what it says in the problem that's why I also can't understand it. I thought you could give me some suggestions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If they give you no information then you have to be creative.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I doubt it just said "what is the probability of passing this subject" lol...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, it's not helping. Anyways, thank you so much.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What were you expecting exactly?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

By the way, Any probability has to greater than or equal to 0 or less than or equal to 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

As @Hero Said

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I get it. It's either passed or failed. Therefore; P = 1 / 2 or 50%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/2 only works if you assume all outcomes are equiprobable. There is little basis for that. In fact, a better estimate would be to assume grades were assigned randomly out of 100 and say all scores >70 are passing, in short 70/100 = 70%.
