The probability of any event E must be less than or equal to

Open in App

Solution

The probability of any event $E$ is given by:

$P (E)$
$= \frac{N u m b e r o f f a v o r a b l e o u t c o m e s}{t o t a l n u m b e r o f o u t c o m e s}$

Since the number of favorable outcomes can never be more than the total number of outcomes, the probability of any event $E$ must be less than or equal to $1$ .
