what is the probability of picking Friday at random? (likely/impossible)
Are we talking about the 7 days of the week, with Friday being one of them ?
I think I just gave you the answer.
1/7
1/7
1/7
To determine the probability of picking Friday at random, we need to know the total number of equally likely outcomes in the sample space and the number of favorable outcomes.
In this case, we assume that we are picking a day of the week at random, meaning that there are seven equally likely outcomes (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday).
Since there is only one Friday in the sample space, the number of favorable outcomes is one.
Therefore, the probability of picking Friday at random is 1 out of 7, or 1/7.
So, it is likely to pick Friday at random, but not impossible.
