Which event is most likely to occur?Rolling a number greater than or equal to 3 on a eight-sided die, numbered from 1 to 8 .Spinning a spinner divided into four equal-sized sections colored red/green/yellow/blue and landing on blue or green.Winning a raffle that sold a total of 100 tickets, if you buy 80 tickets.Reaching into a bag full of 3 strawberry chews and 57 cherry chews without looking and pulling out a strawberry chew.
Q. Which event is most likely to occur?Rolling a number greater than or equal to 3 on a eight-sided die, numbered from 1 to 8 .Spinning a spinner divided into four equal-sized sections colored red/green/yellow/blue and landing on blue or green.Winning a raffle that sold a total of 100 tickets, if you buy 80 tickets.Reaching into a bag full of 3 strawberry chews and 57 cherry chews without looking and pulling out a strawberry chew.
Calculate Probability: Calculate the probability of rolling a number greater than or equal to 3 on an eight-sided die.There are 8 possible outcomes when rolling the die. The numbers greater than or equal to 3 are 3,4,5,6,7, and 8. That's 6 favorable outcomes.Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomesProbability =86Probability =0.75
Spin Spinner: Calculate the probability of spinning the spinner and landing on blue or green.There are 4 equal sections, so there are 4 possible outcomes. The favorable outcomes are landing on blue or green, which are 2 out of the 4 sections.Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomesProbability = 42Probability = 0.5
Win Raffle: Calculate the probability of winning a raffle after buying 80 out of 100 tickets.There are 100 tickets sold in total. If you buy 80 tickets, you have 80 chances to win.Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomesProbability = 10080Probability = 0.8
Pull Chew: Calculate the probability of reaching into a bag and pulling out a strawberry chew.There are 60 chews in total (3 strawberry + 57 cherry). The favorable outcome is pulling out one of the 3 strawberry chews.Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomesProbability = 603Probability = 0.05
Compare Probabilities: Compare the probabilities to determine which event is most likely to occur.The probabilities calculated are:- Rolling a number greater than or equal to 3 on an eight-sided die: 0.75- Spinning a spinner and landing on blue or green: 0.5- Winning a raffle after buying 80 out of 100 tickets: 0.8- Pulling out a strawberry chew: 0.05The event with the highest probability is winning the raffle after buying 80 out of 100 tickets, with a probability of 0.8.
