Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total participants

Total participants = 5 (boys) + 6 (girls) = 11.

Step2: Calculate probability of a girl winning

Probability = $\frac{\text{Number of girls}}{\text{Total participants}}=\frac{6}{11}\approx0.545$. Since $0.5 < \frac{6}{11}<1$, it is likely.

Answer:

B. likely
