Which of these contexts describes a situation that is likely?Rolling an even number 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 blue.Winning a raffle that sold a total of 100 tickets if you bought 90 tickets.Reaching into a bag full of 10 strawberry chews and 10 cherry chews without looking and pulling out a pineapple chew.
Q. Which of these contexts describes a situation that is likely?Rolling an even number 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 blue.Winning a raffle that sold a total of 100 tickets if you bought 90 tickets.Reaching into a bag full of 10 strawberry chews and 10 cherry chews without looking and pulling out a pineapple chew.
Even Number Probability: Let's evaluate each situation one by one to determine which is likely.Situation 1: Rolling an even number on a standard six-sided die, numbered from 1 to 6.There are three even numbers on a six-sided die (2, 4, and 6). The probability of rolling an even number is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes.Probability = Number of even numbers / Total number of sidesProbability = 63Probability = 21This means there is a 50% chance of rolling an even number, which is likely.
Blue Spinner Probability: Situation 2: Spinning a spinner divided into four equal-sized sections colored red/green/yellow/blue and landing on blue.The probability of landing on blue is the number of blue sections divided by the total number of sections.Probability = Number of blue sections / Total number of sectionsProbability = 41This means there is a 25% chance of landing on blue, which is possible but less likely than the first situation.
Raffle Winning Probability: Situation 3: Winning a raffle that sold a total of 100 tickets if you bought 90 tickets.The probability of winning the raffle is the number of tickets you bought divided by the total number of tickets sold.Probability = Number of tickets bought / Total number of tickets soldProbability = 10090Probability = 109This means there is a 90% chance of winning the raffle, which is very likely.
Pineapple Chew Probability: Situation 4: Reaching into a bag full of 10 strawberry chews and 10 cherry chews without looking and pulling out a pineapple chew.Since there are no pineapple chews mentioned in the bag, the probability of pulling out a pineapple chew is zero.Probability =Total number of chewsNumber of pineapple chewsProbability =(10+10)0Probability =0It is impossible to pull out a pineapple chew from a bag that contains only strawberry and cherry chews.
