The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the sum of the numerator and denominator of the probability of choosing a day from a week, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Sample Space**: The sample space for choosing a day from a week consists of the days: - Sunday - Monday - Tuesday - Wednesday - Thursday - Friday - Saturday Thus, the total number of outcomes in the sample space is 7. 2. **Define the Event**: Let E be the event of choosing any one specific day from the week. The favorable outcome for this event is choosing one specific day. 3. **Calculate the Probability**: The probability \( P(E) \) of choosing a specific day from the week is given by the formula: \[ P(E) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}} \] Here, the number of favorable outcomes is 1 (since we are choosing one specific day), and the total number of outcomes is 7 (the total days in a week). Therefore: \[ P(E) = \frac{1}{7} \] 4. **Identify the Numerator and Denominator**: From the probability \( \frac{1}{7} \), we can identify: - Numerator = 1 - Denominator = 7 5. **Calculate the Sum of Numerator and Denominator**: Now, we need to find the sum of the numerator and the denominator: \[ \text{Sum} = \text{Numerator} + \text{Denominator} = 1 + 7 = 8 \] ### Final Answer: The sum of the numerator and denominator of the probability of choosing a day from a week is **8**. ---
