Question

When the model of equally likely outcomes is assumed, the probability of each outcome is?
Let N=no. of outcomes of S
*zero
*2/N
*1/N
*0.5
*1
my answer is 1 but I'm not sure

Answer 1

I think this 0.5 because it is like atoss coin?

Answer 2

hm, not quite

let's use an example:

if there are 2 equally likely outcomes, the probability of each outcome is 1/2
if there are 3 outcomes, the probability of each outcome is 1/3

see the pattern yet?

if there are N outcomes, the probability of each outcome is __?

Answer 3

1/n hmm

Answer 4

yup, does that make sense?

Answer 5

Yeap thankyou!
