Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall probability scale

A probability of 0 means an event is impossible, a probability of 1 means an event is certain. A probability of 0.5 ($\frac{1}{2}$) means an event is neither likely nor unlikely.

Step2: Analyze options

Option A (0.01) is very close to 0, so the event is unlikely. Option C (75% or 0.75) is likely. Option D (1) is certain. Option B ($\frac{1}{2}$) is neither likely nor unlikely.

Answer:

B. $\frac{1}{2}$
