Q. Which event is most likely to occur?\newlineRolling a multiple of 33 on a eight-sided die, numbered from 11 to 88.\newlineSpinning a spinner divided into five equal-sized sections colored red/green/yellow/blue/purple and landing on red or blue or purple.\newlineWinning a raffle that sold a total of 100100 tickets, if you buy 8888 tickets.\newlineReaching into a bag full of 11 strawberry chews and 3939 cherry chews without looking and pulling out a strawberry chew.
  1. Event 11 Analysis: Let's analyze each event to determine its probability.\newlineEvent 11: Rolling a multiple of 33 on an eight-sided die, numbered from 11 to 88.\newlineMultiples of 33 in this range are 33 and 66. So there are 22 favorable outcomes.\newlineThe probability of rolling a multiple of 33 is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes.\newlineProbability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes\newlineProbability = 28\frac{2}{8}\newlineProbability = 14\frac{1}{4}
  2. Event 22 Analysis: Event 22: Spinning a spinner divided into five equal-sized sections colored red/green/yellow/blue/purple and landing on red or blue or purple.\newlineThere are 33 favorable outcomes (red, blue, purple).\newlineThe probability of landing on red, blue, or purple is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes.\newlineProbability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes\newlineProbability = 35\frac{3}{5}
  3. Event 33 Analysis: Event 33: Winning a raffle that sold a total of 100100 tickets, if you buy 8888 tickets.\newlineThe probability of winning the raffle is the number of tickets you have divided by the total number of tickets sold.\newlineProbability = Number of your tickets / Total number of tickets\newlineProbability = 88100\frac{88}{100}\newlineProbability = 0.880.88
  4. Event 44 Analysis: Event 44: Reaching into a bag full of 11 strawberry chew and 3939 cherry chews without looking and pulling out a strawberry chew.\newlineThere is 11 favorable outcome (strawberry chew).\newlineThe probability of pulling out a strawberry chew is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes.\newlineProbability == Number of favorable outcomes // Total number of outcomes\newlineProbability =140= \frac{1}{40}
  5. Comparison and Conclusion: Now, let's compare the probabilities of each event to determine which is most likely to occur.\newlineEvent 11: Probability = 14=0.25\frac{1}{4} = 0.25\newlineEvent 22: Probability = 35=0.60\frac{3}{5} = 0.60\newlineEvent 33: Probability = 0.880.88\newlineEvent 44: Probability = 140=0.025\frac{1}{40} = 0.025\newlineThe event with the highest probability is Event 33, winning a raffle with 8888 out of 100100 tickets.
