Roland is picking out a snack. He has an apple, a pear, a banana, and an orange to choose from. Roland is going to pick one at random and wants to know what the chance that he will pick a bananna? Identify the action, the sample space, and the event.
Since there are 4 options and only 1 banana, there is a 1/4 chance he will pick a banana. I'm not sure what you mean by the last few questions? I think the sample space is an apple, pear, banana, or an orange. And the event is banana?
Ω = 4 set all equally probable events
aplle, pear,banana, orange
A = 1 random event favorable
banana
\(P(A) = \frac{A}{omega} = \frac{1}{4}\)
Roland choose once and has one chance in four that will draw the coveted banana. Therefore, the probability of this event is 1/4
Answer 1/4
