Q. Which of these contexts describes a situation that is certain?Rolling a number less than 6 on a standard 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 orange.Winning a raffle that sold a total of 100 tickets if you bought all the tickets.Reaching into a bag full of 10 strawberry chews and 10 cherry chews without looking and pulling out an orange chew.
Rolling a Number: Analyze the first context: Rolling a number less than 6 on a standard six-sided die, numbered from 1 to 6. Reasoning: A standard six-sided die has numbers 1 through 6. Rolling a number less than 6 means rolling either a 1, 2, 3, 4, or 10. Calculation: There are 10 possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, or 10) that are less than 6. Math error check:
Spinning a Spinner: Analyze the second context: Spinning a spinner divided into four equal-sized sections colored red/green/yellow/blue and landing on orange.Reasoning: The spinner does not have an orange section.Calculation: There is no section for orange, so it is impossible to land on orange.Math error check:
Winning a Raffle: Analyze the third context: Winning a raffle that sold a total of 100 tickets if you bought all the tickets.Reasoning: If you have purchased all the tickets in the raffle, you are the only participant.Calculation: Owning all 100 tickets means you have a 100% chance of winning.Math error check:
Pulling from a Bag: Analyze the fourth context: Reaching into a bag full of 10 strawberry chews and 10 cherry chews without looking and pulling out an orange chew.Reasoning: The bag only contains strawberry and cherry chews.Calculation: There are no orange chews in the bag, so it is impossible to pull out an orange chew.Math error check:
Determining Certainty: Determine which context describes a situation that is certain.Reasoning: A certain event is one that is guaranteed to happen. Among the given contexts, the only situation where the outcome is guaranteed is when you have bought all the tickets in a raffle.Calculation: No calculation needed for this step.Math error check:
