Q. Which event is most likely to occur?Rolling a multiple of 3 on a six-sided die, numbered from 1 to 6 .Spinning a spinner divided into five equal-sized sections colored red/green/yellow/blue/purple and landing on red or blue or green.Winning a raffle that sold a total of 100 tickets, if you buy 91 tickets.Reaching into a bag full of 7 strawberry chews and 33 cherry chews without looking and pulling out a strawberry chew.
Event 1 Analysis: Let's analyze each event to determine its probability.Event 1: Rolling a multiple of 3 on a six-sided die, numbered from 1 to 6.The multiples of 3 in this range are 3 and 6. So there are 2 favorable outcomes out of 6 possible outcomes.Probability of rolling a multiple of 3 = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes = 62=31.
Event 2 Analysis: Event 2: Spinning a spinner divided into five equal-sized sections colored red/green/yellow/blue/purple and landing on red or blue or green.There are 3 favorable outcomes (red, blue, green) out of 5 possible outcomes.Probability of landing on red, blue, or green = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes = 53.
Event 3 Analysis: Event 3: Winning a raffle that sold a total of 100 tickets, if you buy 91 tickets.The probability of winning is the number of tickets you have over the total number of tickets.Probability of winning the raffle = Number of tickets you have / Total number of tickets = 10091.
Event 4 Analysis: Event 4: Reaching into a bag full of 7 strawberry chews and 33 cherry chews without looking and pulling out a strawberry chew.There are 7 favorable outcomes (strawberry chews) out of 40 total chews (7 strawberry + 33 cherry).Probability of pulling out a strawberry chew = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes = 407.
Comparison of Probabilities: Now, let's compare the probabilities of each event to determine which is most likely to occur.Event 1: Probability = 31≈0.333...Event 2: Probability = 53=0.6Event 3: Probability = 10091=0.91Event 4: Probability = 407=0.175The event with the highest probability is Event 3, with a probability of 0.91.
