Question 1168077: Suppose a randomly selected passenger is about to go through the metal detector at Fuaʻamotu
International Airport in Tonga. Consider the following two outcomes: The passenger sets off the
metal detector, and the passenger does not set off the metal detector. Are these two outcomes
equally likely? Explain why or why not. If you are to find the probability of these two
outcomes, would you use the classical approach or the relative frequency approach or subjective
approach? Explain why
Answer by Boreal(15235)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! No, two outcomes are not generally equally likely, since most people self-screen beforehand and will usually through without setting off the metal detector.
Relative frequency approach would be to look at large numbers of people going through the metal detector and see what the fraction is. That would be a decent point estimate.
