Q. Which of these contexts describes a situation that is unlikely?\newlineRolling a 11 on a standard six-sided die, numbered from 11 to 66.\newlineSpinning a spinner divided into four equal-sized sections colored red/green/yellow/blue and landing on red or yellow or green or blue.\newlineWinning a raffle that sold a total of 100100 tickets if you bought all the tickets.\newlineReaching into a bag full of 1919 strawberry chews and 11 cherry chew without looking and pulling out a banana chew.
  1. Rolling a 11 on a die: Analyze the first context - Rolling a 11 on a standard six-sided die, numbered from 11 to 66. The probability of rolling a 11 on a six-sided die is 11 out of 66, or approximately 16.67%16.67\%. This is a common occurrence in the context of rolling dice, so it is not unlikely.
  2. Spinning a colored spinner: Analyze the second context - Spinning a spinner divided into four equal-sized sections colored red/green/yellow/blue and landing on red or yellow or green or blue.\newlineThe probability of landing on any one of the four colors is 11 out of 44, or 25%25\%, for each spin. Since the spinner is divided equally and the outcome includes all possible colors, it is certain (100%100\%) that the spinner will land on one of the colors. This is not unlikely.
  3. Winning a raffle: Analyze the third context - Winning a raffle that sold a total of 100100 tickets if you bought all the tickets.\newlineIf you bought all 100100 tickets in a raffle, your probability of winning is 100100 out of 100100, or 100%100\%. This means it is certain that you will win, and therefore it is not unlikely.
  4. Pulling out a banana chew: Analyze the fourth context - Reaching into a bag full of 1919 strawberry chews and 11 cherry chew without looking and pulling out a banana chew.\newlineSince the bag contains only strawberry and cherry chews, there are no banana chews in the bag. Therefore, the probability of pulling out a banana chew is 00 out of 2020, or 0%0\%. This is an impossible event given the contents of the bag, making it highly unlikely.
