Which event is most likely to occur?Rolling an odd number on a twelve-sided die, numbered from 1 to 12.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 41 tickets.Reaching into a bag full of 33 strawberry chews and 7 cherry chews without looking and pulling out a strawberry chew.
Q. Which event is most likely to occur?Rolling an odd number on a twelve-sided die, numbered from 1 to 12.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 41 tickets.Reaching into a bag full of 33 strawberry chews and 7 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 an odd number on a twelve-sided die.There are 6odd numbers (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11) on a twelve-sided die.Probability of rolling an odd number = Number of odd outcomes / Total number of outcomes= 6/12= 1/2
Event 2 Analysis: Event 2: Spinning a spinner divided into five equal-sized sections 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 or 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 41 tickets.Probability of winning the raffle = Number of tickets you have / Total number of tickets= 10041
Event 4 Analysis: Event 4: Reaching into a bag with 33 strawberry chews and 7 cherry chews and pulling out a strawberry chew.Probability of pulling out a strawberry chew =Total number of chewsNumber of strawberry chews=(33+7)33=4033
Comparison: Now, let's compare the probabilities to determine which event is most likely to occur.Event 1: Probability = 21=0.5Event 2: Probability = 53=0.6Event 3: Probability = 10041=0.41Event 4: Probability = 4033=0.825The event with the highest probability is Event 4, pulling out a strawberry chew.
