\end{array}\)
A: {Either 1, 2, or 3 occurs}
B: {Either 1, 3, or 5 occurs}
C: {4 does not occur}
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
We have to find the probabilities of the given events
Here given that
\(\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline \text { Sample point } & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 \\
\hline \text { Probability } & 0.05 & 0.2 & 0.3 & 0.3 & 0.15 \\
\hline
\end{array}\)
