Chapter 4: Q20 (page 143)

In Exercises 13鈥�20, express the indicated degree of likelihood as a probability value between 0 and 1.

Death and Taxes Benjamin Franklin said that death is a certainty of life.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability that death will occur is 1.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

It is given that death is certain in life.

02

Describe probability

Probability is the proportion of the number of outcomes that result in an event (E) to the total number of outcomes.

It is written as

PE=Numberoffavourableoutcomesof ETotalnumberofoutcomes

The values of probability lie within the limits of 0 and 1. An impossible event has a probability of 0, while a certain (sure) event has a probability of 1.

03

Calculate the probability 

Here, it is stated that death is certain in life. It means the possibility of death is sure for any random individual.

Therefore, the probability of the certain event of death is 1.
