Put the events in order of what is most likely to happen, to least likely to happen. If you were to win a million dollars for winning one of these events, which would you pick to play? Use probability to explain your answers.

Winning the Lottery: If the six numbers on the lottery ticket match the six numbers drawn, then you win. The numbers can range from 1-49.
Rolling a 7: Roll two dice numbered 1-6 then add the numbers that are face up to get 7.
Drawing the Ace of Spades: In a deck of 52 cards, what is the likelihood of drawing the Ace of Spades in one try.
2 Heads in a Row: Using a coin with a heads-side and tails-side, what is the likelihood of flipping a heads twice in a row?
Marbles: You have a bag with 3 red marbles, 4 blue marbles, and 5 green marbles. What is the probability of pulling out a red marble 3 times in a row, assuming you put each marble back into the bag before drawing another?

The order of the probabilities from the highest to the least would be

4 > 2 > 3 > 5 >1. This tells us tgat the highest probability is number 4 while the lowest is 1.

In mathematics, this is the concept that is used to talk about the likelihood of having an event occurring.

The probability of these items have been calculated below

1. Winning the Lottery

probability = 1/49P6

= 0.00000000009932

2. Rolling a 7:

we have to find the group of 7's

= (2,5) (1,6), (3,4), (4, 3), (6,1), (5,2)

= 6/36 = 0.1666

3. Drawing the Ace of Spade

1/52 = 0.019

4. 2 Heads in a Row:

1/2 x 1/2

= 0.25

5. Marbles:

3 + 4+ 5 = 12

3/12 * 3/12 * 3/12

= 0.01562

Hence the order of the probabilities from the highest to the least would be

4 > 2 > 3 > 5 >1
