A) 7

B) $\frac { 7 } { 10 }$

C) $\frac { 7 } { 9 }$

D) $\frac { 4 } { 5 }$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The probability of event E happening is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes in the sample space. Here, there are 7 favorable outcomes in E and 10 total outcomes in S, so the probability is $\frac{7}{10}$.
