which of these contexts describes a situation that is likely?\nanswer\nrolling a number greater than or equal to 2 on a standard six - sided die, numbered from 1 to 6.\nspinning a spinner divided into four equal - sized sections colored red/green/yellow/blue and landing on black.\nwinning a raffle that sold a total of 100 tickets if you bought 50 tickets.\nreaching into a bag full of 10 strawberry chews and 10 cherry chews without looking and pulling out a strawberry or a cherry chew.
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Calculate probabilities for each option
Option 1:
The probability of rolling a number greater than or equal to 2 on a six - sided die. The total number of outcomes is 6. The favorable outcomes (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) are 5. So the probability $P_1=\frac{5}{6}$.
Option 2:
A spinner divided into red/green/yellow/blue has no black section. So the probability of landing on black, $P_2 = 0$.
Option 3:
If there are 100 raffle tickets and you bought 50, the probability of winning is $P_3=\frac{50}{100}=\frac{1}{2}$.
Option 4:
The bag has 10 strawberry and 10 cherry chews. The probability of pulling out a strawberry or a cherry chew is $\frac{10 + 10}{10+10}=1$. A probability of 1 means it is certain.
Answer:
Reaching into a bag full of 10 strawberry chews and 10 cherry chews without looking and pulling out a strawberry or a cherry chew.
