Chapter 6, Problem 34CR

To determine

To calculate: the probability on stopping number $1$ .

Answer to Problem 34CR

The probability on stopping number $1$ is $\frac{1}{8}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information : thefigure provided in the question,

  

Calculation : to find the probability on stopping on number $1$ , divide the number of favorable outcomes by number of outcomes.

It is shown in the figure that number of favorable outcomes for $1$ = $1$

Number of total outcomes = $8$

  $Probability(onstoppingnumber1)=\frac{numberof\text{ favorable outcomes}}{number\text{ of total outcomes}}$

  $Probability(onstoppingnumber1)=\frac{1}{8}$

Hence, The probability on stopping number $1$ is $\frac{1}{8}$ .
