Q. Which event is least likely to occur?\newlineRolling a number greater than or equal to 66 on a eight-sided die, numbered from 11 to 88 .\newlineSpinning a spinner divided into four equal-sized sections colored red/green/yellow/blue and landing on yellow.\newlineWinning a raffle that sold a total of 100100 tickets, if you buy 7979 tickets.\newlineReaching into a bag full of 7575 strawberry chews and 55 cherry chews without looking and pulling out a strawberry chew.
  1. Calculate Probability of Rolling: Calculate the probability of rolling a number greater than or equal to 66 on an eight-sided die.\newlineThere are 33 favorable outcomes (66, 77, 88) out of 88 possible outcomes.\newlineProbability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes\newlineProbability = 38\frac{3}{8}
  2. Calculate Probability of Spinning: Calculate the probability of spinning the spinner and landing on yellow.\newlineThere is 11 favorable outcome (yellow) out of 44 possible outcomes.\newlineProbability = 14\frac{1}{4}
  3. Calculate Probability of Winning: Calculate the probability of winning the raffle after buying 7979 tickets out of 100100. There are 7979 favorable outcomes out of 100100 possible outcomes. Probability = 79100\frac{79}{100}
  4. Calculate Probability of Pulling: Calculate the probability of pulling out a strawberry chew from the bag.\newlineThere are 7575 favorable outcomes (strawberry chews) out of 8080 total chews (7575 strawberry + 55 cherry).\newlineProbability = 7580\frac{75}{80}\newlineProbability = 1516\frac{15}{16} (simplified)
  5. Compare Probabilities: Compare the probabilities to determine the least likely event.\newlineRolling a number greater than or equal to 66: 38=0.375\frac{3}{8} = 0.375\newlineSpinning and landing on yellow: 14=0.25\frac{1}{4} = 0.25\newlineWinning the raffle: 79100=0.79\frac{79}{100} = 0.79\newlinePulling out a strawberry chew: 1516=0.9375\frac{15}{16} = 0.9375\newlineThe event with the smallest probability is the least likely to occur.
  6. Identify Smallest Probability: Identify the event with the smallest probability. The smallest probability is 14\frac{1}{4}, which is the probability of spinning the spinner and landing on yellow.
