The probability P(E) is 13/15.
According to the statement
we have given that the S = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}, E = {1, 5, 7}
And we have to find the probability P(E).
So, For this purpose
Recall the formula for the probability of an event E in case when all outcomes are equally likely:
P(E)= n(E) /n(S)
in which S is the sample space.
But we have the S = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9},
so, n(S) = Sum of all outcomes / number of outcomes
n(S) = 1+3+5+7+9 /5
n(S) = 25 /5
n(S) = 5 and
For n(E) = Sum of all outcomes / number of outcomes
n(E) = 1+5+7 /3
n(E) = 13 /3
n(E) = 13 /3
Substitute these values in the above written formula then
P(E)= n(E) /n(S)
P(E)= (13/3)/ 5
P(E)= 13 /15
So, The probability P(E) is 13/15.
