Answer 1

b

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: Unlikely

Explanation:

Given: The probability of choosing a penny from the 1980s from the bag of pennies without looking=
`(3)/(40)=0.075`

We know that the probability of any event lies between 0 and 1.

• If probability of occurring event is 0 then the event is impossible.
• If probability of occurring any event is 1 then the event certain.
• If probability of occurring any event lies between 0.5 and 1 then the event is said to be likely.
• If probability of occurring any event lies between 0 and 0.5 then the event is said to be unlikely.

Since, 0.075 lieas between 0 and 0.5, therefore the event is said to be unlikely.
