A population consists of 100 elements. We want to draw a simple, random sample of 20 elements from this population. On the first selection, the probability of any particular element being selected is ____.

Respuesta :

Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.

Probability = expected outcome of event /total outcome

Since the population consists of 100 elements, the total outcome of event = 100.

If random sample of 20 element is drawn from the population, the expected outcome = 20

On the first selection, the probability of any particular element being selected = 20/100 = 1/5
