Question

Suppose thatE is an event. Use probability notation to represent

(a) the probability that event E occurs.

(b) the probability that event Eoccurs is 0.436

Short answer

Part (a) $P\left(E\right)$.

Part (b)$P\left(E\right)=0.436$.

Step-by-step solution

Part (a) Step 1. Given information.

The given statement is:

Suppose thatEis an event. Use probability notation to represent the probability that event E occurs.

Part (a) Step 2. Write the probability notation to represent the probability that event E occurs.

We know from the concept of probability that any occurrence should have a probability that is greater than 0 but less than 1.

Any event's probability can be written as:$P\left(E\right)$

Part (b) Step 1. Write the probability notation to represent the probability that event E occurs is 0.436.

Any event's probability can be stated as $P\left(E\right)$.

Therefore, the occurrence of an event with a probability of "0.436" can be written in probability notation as:

$P\left(E\right)=0.436$
