Q. Which event is least likely to occur?Rolling a 1 on a six-sided die, numbered from 1 to 6.Spinning a spinner divided into four equal-sized sections colored red/green/yellow/blue and landing on red or yellow.Winning a raffle that sold a total of 100 tickets, if you buy 44 tickets.Reaching into a bag full of 26 strawberry chews and 14 cherry chews without looking and pulling out a strawberry chew.
Calculate Probability of Rolling a 1: Calculate the probability of rolling a 1 on a six-sided die. The die has 6 sides, so the probability of rolling a 1 is 1 out of 6. Probability = 61
Calculate Probability of Spinning Red or Yellow: Calculate the probability of spinning red or yellow on a spinner divided into four equal sections.There are 4 sections, and 2 of them are favorable outcomes (red or yellow).Probability =42=21
Calculate Probability of Winning Raffle: Calculate the probability of winning a raffle with 44 tickets out of 100 sold.You have 44 tickets, and there are 100 tickets in total.Probability = 10044
Calculate Probability of Pulling Strawberry Chew: Calculate the probability of pulling out a strawberry chew from a bag with 26 strawberry chews and 14 cherry chews.There are 26 strawberry chews and 14 cherry chews, so there are 26+14=40 chews in total.Probability = 4026=2013
Compare Probabilities to Determine Least Likely Event: Compare the probabilities to determine the least likely event.Rolling a 1 on a die: 61≈0.1667Spinning red or yellow: 21=0.5Winning the raffle: 10044=0.44Pulling out a strawberry chew: 2013=0.65The event with the smallest probability is rolling a 1 on a six-sided die.
