Question

The probability of an event is 0.001.

Which of the following best describes the event?

A The event will never occur.
B There is a small chance that the event will occur.
C The event is likely to occur.
D The event will definitely occur.

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

it would be a if the chance was 0.000 but it's 0.001 so there is a very very small chance of it happening

Answer 2

Explanation:

0.001 means 1/1000

The answer depends on what is being described.

If you are putting money into a lottery if you got odds of 1 in a 1000, you'd jump for joy at such good odds.

If you are putting money into the stock market and the chances of getting any kind of return is 1/1000, I think you'd start looking for something else to do.

That said, I think the answer you want is B, but I'm not fond of the question.
