Answer: Both of these events are more likely.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability that she is getting injured playing volleyball = 0.1

Probability that she is getting injured playing soccer is given by


(1)/(10)

Since we need to compare both the probabilities so, for this we first need to change the second probability in decimal form.

So,
(1)/(10)=0.1

since both the events have same probability.

Hence, Both of these events are more likely.
