Problem
Two events E and F belong to the same random experiment. Their probabilities are given as P(E)=4518 and P(F)=157.
(i) Reduce each probability to its simplest fractional form.
(ii) Verify that the simplified values satisfy the fundamental range 0≤P≤1 for any probability.
(iii) Without converting the fractions to decimals, decide which of the two events is more likely to occur. Give a brief reason for your choice.
