Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since there are 38 equally likely events in the sample space, the probability of each event is simply 1/38, so choice B is the correct answer. The other choices are incorrect because the probability of each individual event cannot be greater than 1 or less than 0, and it must be less than or equal to 1, and greater than or equal to 0.
