Probability of a key K present in array

Given an array A[] and size of array is N and one another key K. The task is to find the probability that the Key K present in array.

Examples:

Input : N = 6
        A[] = { 4, 7, 2, 0, 8, 7, 5 }
        K = 3
Output :0
Since value of k = 3  is not present in array,
hence the probability of 0.

Input :N = 10
       A[] = { 2, 3, 5, 1, 9, 8, 0, 7, 6, 5 }
       K = 5
Output :0.2

The probability of can be found out using the below formula:

Probability = total number of K present /
                          size of array.

First, count the number of K’s and then the probability will be the number of K’s divided by N i.e. count / N.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

float kPresentProbability(int a[], int n, int k)
{
    float count = 0;
  
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) 
        if (a[i] == k)
            count++;
  
    // find probability
    return count / n;
}
  
// Driver Code
int main()
{
  
    int A[] = { 4, 7, 2, 0, 8, 7, 5 };
    int K = 3;
    int N = sizeof(A) / sizeof(A[0]);
    cout << kPresentProbability(A, N, K);
    return 0;
}
