Q. The weather forecaster says that tomorrow there is a 0% chance that it will rain. Which word or phrase describes the probability that it will rain?an equal chance or 50−50likelyimpossibleunlikely
Weather Forecast: The weather forecaster has given a 0% chance of rain, which means there is no chance that it will rain. To describe this probability, we need to choose the appropriate word or phrase from the given options.
Definition of Impossible: The term "impossible" is used to describe an event that cannot happen, which in probability terms is an event with a probability of 0%. Since the forecaster said there is a 0% chance of rain, this matches the definition of "impossible."
Incorrect Options: The other options do not accurately describe a 0% chance. "An equal chance" or "50−50" would imply a probability of 50%, "likely" would imply a high probability, and "unlikely" would imply a low probability but not 0%. Therefore, these options are incorrect.
