Answer:
The probability the number selected is larger than 78 or even is 0.4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A computer randomly picks a number from the group 75, 76, 77, 78, 79.
To find : What is the probability the number selected is larger than 78 or even?
Solution :
Data - 75, 76, 77, 78, 79
The number selected is larger than 78 i.e. 79=1
The number selected is even i.e. 76,78 =2
The number selected is larger than 78 or even is 1×2.
Total number of outcome = 5
The probability the number selected is larger than 78 or even is
[tex]P=\frac{1\times 2}{5}[/tex]
[tex]P=\frac{2}{5}[/tex]
[tex]P=0.4[/tex]
Therefore, The probability the number selected is larger than 78 or even is 0.4.
