Q. Which of these contexts describes a situation that is likely?\newlineRolling an even number 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 blue.\newlineWinning a raffle that sold a total of 100100 tickets if you bought 9090 tickets.\newlineReaching into a bag full of 1010 strawberry chews and 1010 cherry chews without looking and pulling out a pineapple chew.
  1. Even Number Probability: Let's evaluate each situation one by one to determine which is likely.\newlineSituation 11: Rolling an even number on a standard six-sided die, numbered from 11 to 66.\newlineThere are three even numbers on a six-sided die (22, 44, and 66). The probability of rolling an even number is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes.\newlineProbability = Number of even numbers / Total number of sides\newlineProbability = 36\frac{3}{6}\newlineProbability = 12\frac{1}{2}\newlineThis means there is a 50%50\% chance of rolling an even number, which is likely.
  2. Blue Spinner Probability: Situation 22: Spinning a spinner divided into four equal-sized sections colored red/green/yellow/blue and landing on blue.\newlineThe probability of landing on blue is the number of blue sections divided by the total number of sections.\newlineProbability = Number of blue sections / Total number of sections\newlineProbability = 14\frac{1}{4}\newlineThis means there is a 25%25\% chance of landing on blue, which is possible but less likely than the first situation.
  3. Raffle Winning Probability: Situation 33: Winning a raffle that sold a total of 100100 tickets if you bought 9090 tickets.\newlineThe probability of winning the raffle is the number of tickets you bought divided by the total number of tickets sold.\newlineProbability = Number of tickets bought / Total number of tickets sold\newlineProbability = 90100\frac{90}{100}\newlineProbability = 910\frac{9}{10}\newlineThis means there is a 90%90\% chance of winning the raffle, which is very likely.
  4. Pineapple Chew Probability: Situation 44: Reaching into a bag full of 1010 strawberry chews and 1010 cherry chews without looking and pulling out a pineapple chew.\newlineSince there are no pineapple chews mentioned in the bag, the probability of pulling out a pineapple chew is zero.\newlineProbability =Number of pineapple chewsTotal number of chews= \frac{\text{Number of pineapple chews}}{\text{Total number of chews}}\newlineProbability =0(10+10)= \frac{0}{(10 + 10)}\newlineProbability =0= 0\newlineIt is impossible to pull out a pineapple chew from a bag that contains only strawberry and cherry chews.
