Q. Which event is most likely to occur?Rolling a number less than 11 on a twelve-sided die, numbered from 1 to 12.Spinning a spinner divided into four equal-sized sections colored red/green/yellow/blue and landing on brown.Winning a raffle that sold a total of 100 tickets, if you buy 27 tickets.Reaching into a bag full of 39 strawberry chews and 21 cherry chews without looking and pulling out a strawberry chew.
Calculate Probability: Calculate the probability of rolling a number less than 11 on a twelve-sided die.There are 10 numbers less than 11 (1 through 10) on a twelve-sided die.The probability is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes.P(rolling less than 11)=1210=65.
Spinner Landing: Calculate the probability of spinning a spinner divided into four equal-sized sections and landing on brown.Since there is no brown section mentioned, the probability of landing on brown is 0.P(landing on brown)=0.
Raffle Winning: Calculate the probability of winning a raffle with 27 out of 100 tickets.The probability is the number of tickets you have divided by the total number of tickets.P(winning raffle)=10027.
Pulling Chew: Calculate the probability of reaching into a bag and pulling out a strawberry chew. There are 39 strawberry chews and 21 cherry chews, making a total of 60 chews. The probability is the number of strawberry chews divided by the total number of chews. P(pulling strawberry chew)=6039=2013.
Compare Probabilities: Compare the probabilities to determine the most likely event.P(rolling less than 11)=65≈0.8333P(landing on brown)=0P(winning raffle)=10027=0.27P(pulling strawberry chew)=2013=0.65The event with the highest probability is rolling a number less than 11 on a twelve-sided die.
