  1. A \(\frac{1}{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{64}{127}\)
  3. C \(\frac{63}{128}\)
  4. D \(\frac{31}{128}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{64}{127}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(\mathrm{S}=\left\{x_{1}, x_{2}, x_{3}, x_{4}, x_{5}, x_{6}, x_{7}\right\}\) Let the chosen element be \(x_{i}\), Total number of subsets of \(S=2^{7}=128\) No. of non-empty subsets of \(S=128-1\) \(=127\) We need to find number of those subsets that contains \(x_{i}\),…
