Q. Which event is most likely to occur?Rolling a number less than 6 on a six-sided die, numbered from 1 to 6.Spinning a spinner divided into four equal-sized sections colored red/green/yellow/blue and landing on pink.Winning a raffle that sold a total of 100 tickets, if you buy 75 tickets.Reaching into a bag full of 10 strawberry chews and 30 cherry chews without looking and pulling out a strawberry chew.
Evaluate Probability: Let's evaluate the probability of each event happening.
Rolling a Number: First, let's consider rolling a number less than 6 on a six-sided die, numbered from 1 to 6. The possible outcomes are 1,2,3,4, and 5, which are five outcomes out of six possible outcomes.Probability =Total number of outcomesNumber of favorable outcomes=65.
Spinning Spinner: Next, let's look at spinning a spinner divided into four equal-sized sections colored red/green/yellow/blue and landing on pink. Since pink is not one of the colors on the spinner, it is impossible to land on pink.Probability = 0 (since pink is not an option on the spinner).
Winning Raffle: Now, let's calculate the probability of winning a raffle that sold a total of 100 tickets, if you buy 75 tickets. The probability is the number of tickets you have over the total number of tickets.Probability = Number of tickets you have / Total number of tickets = 10075 = 43.
Pulling Chew: Finally, let's determine the probability of reaching into a bag full of 10 strawberry chews and 30 cherry chews without looking and pulling out a strawberry chew. The probability is the number of strawberry chews over the total number of chews.Probability = Number of strawberry chews / Total number of chews = 10+3010 = 4010 = 41.
Compare Probabilities: Comparing the probabilities, we have:Rolling a number less than 6 on a die: 65Spinning pink on the spinner: 0Winning the raffle: 43Pulling out a strawberry chew: 41The event with the highest probability is rolling a number less than 6 on a six-sided die.
