Question

The probability that an event will occur is fraction 1 over 8. Which of these best describes the likelihood of the event occurring? Likely Certain Unlikely Impossible

Answer 1

Here it is given that the probability of getting an sample= 1/8

So this one is unlikely

Because likely means the fraction will be more than 4/8 that means half of the total number of sampling.

Certain means the probability is 1

And impossible means the probability is 0. (Answer)

Answer 2

Probabilities are used to determine the chances of an event.

The probability of 1/8 is (c) unlikely

The probability is given as:

$\mathbf{P =\frac 18}$

Express as decimal

$\mathbf{P =0.125}$

When a probability is less than half i.e less than 1/2 or 0.5.

Then, such probability is unlikely

This means that, the probability of 1/8 is unlikely

Hence, the correct option is (c) unlikely
