SOLUTION: An experiment has four outcomes: o1, o2, o3, and o4, with corresponding weights w1, w2, w3, and w4. If w1=0.15, w3=0.15, and w4=0.25, what is w2?

Question 1122809: An experiment has four outcomes: o1, o2, o3, and o4, with corresponding weights w1, w2, w3, and w4. If w1=0.15, w3=0.15, and w4=0.25, what is w2?
Again assuming you are talking about probabilities when you say "weights", the sum of the probabilities for the four possible outcomes has to be 1. Since the sum of the probabilities of the other 3 outcomes is 0.55, the probability of o2 is 0.45.
