One of the basic requirements of probability is A)for each experimental outcome E_i,we must have P(E_i)≥ 1 B)P(A)= P(A^c)− 1 C)if there are k experimental outcomes,then P(E₁)+ P(E₂)+ ...+ P(E_k)= 1 D)both P(A)= P(A^c)− 1 and if there are k experimental outcomes,then P(E₁)+ P(E₂)+ ...+ P(E_k)= 1

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The basic requirement of probability is that the sum of the probabilities of all possible outcomes in a sample space should be equal to 1. Thus, option C is the correct choice as it states that the sum of probabilities of all k experimental outcomes is equal to 1. Option A is incorrect as probability cannot be greater than 1. Option B is incorrect as it is an incorrect formula for probability. Option D is incorrect as option B is incorrect.
