Marziman:

Well, it's 1:24 chance since there are 24 students. That's how you'd express it.

Nicole:

is that for number 1?

Marziman:

That means there is a 4.166666 etc. percent chance of her being selected. To express it as a decimal it's .04 after rounding it off. 1/24 would be your fraction, FYI 1:24 is the same thing as 1/24, just another confusing math fact.

Falconmaster:

im not tht great with proabilty

Falconmaster:

sorry

Nicole:

its alright

Marziman:

So for #1 here's how I'd describe your sample space, given that a sample space is a collection of outcomes and possibilities.

Marziman:

Sample Space: "There are 2 outcomes possible, either she is selected or another student is selected. If I were to look at it more broadly, there are 24 outcomes. So if we look at it from Anne's perspective it's, {NS, SS} where NS = Not selected and SS = senate selection. If we were to include all of the student's names into the study it would be MUCH broader because we'd have to account for all 24 students and their probability of success."

Marziman:

The outcomes from the sample space that compose this specific event are Not Selected, NS or Senate selection, SS. This would be represented as {NS, SS} in our probability list.

Marziman:

The one that says "Sample Space:" is for #1 the one that says "The outcomes from the sample space" is for #2

Nicole:

Okay

Marziman:

#3 The probability Anne being selected for student senate can be represented as, 1:24 or 1/24 and as a decimal it's 0.04166666666666666666666666666667 or .04 after rounding.

Marziman:

#4 It's neither likely nor unlikely. She has a 4% chance of being selected and everyone has an equal chance. Taking our statistics into consideration we can come to the conclusion that it is neither likely nor unlikely that she'd be selected.

Nicole:

Okay thanks so much... Can you help with with some more please?

Marziman:

Sure I'll take a look. I hate stats though.

Post it as a separate Q please, want to rack up medals.

Nicole:
