Question

Jennifer is playing with a die that has six faces. What is the likelihood that she will roll a four?

A. certain

B. likely

C. unlikely

D. neither likely nor unlikely

Answer 1

Likely because she has 1 out of 6 chances of rolling a 4

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

This is a very strange question. What do the terms mean. The chance of rolling a 4 is 1 in 6 or 1/6

Is this likely or unlikely? Compared to pulling out the King do Diamonds from a deck of cards, rolling a 4 is very likely. The odds are much better.

If you flip a coin that was on your kitchen table and it was a fair coin, the chances of getting heads is 1 in 2. That makes rolling a 4 very unlikely. 1/2 is much bigger than 1/6.

I honestly don't know what you should answer. The only one it isn't is A.

B,C or D can all be argued (as I have done).

Since there is no E that says "depends", I take D, but C is a good bet too. They probably want C is the answer.
