express the indicated degree of likelihood as a probability value between 0 and 1 in the given: Death and Taxes: Benjamin Franklin said that death is a certainty of life.

OpenStudy (queelius):

First, if x is an event, then: 0 <= probability[x] <= 1 probability[x] = 0 indicates that x will never happen; 0 < probability[x] < 1 indicates that x may or may not happen, e.g., probability[coin will land on heads] = 0.5. What is probability[x] when x is certain to happen?

OpenStudy (mathisfun13):

1?

OpenStudy (queelius):

Yup. So, probability[death and taxes] = 1.
