Step-by-step explanation
the probability of an event is the ratio of the favorable outcomes to the total outcomes
then
from the given data
Let
so
Step 1
Write this probability as a percent:
a) percent
to do that, multiply by 100%
so
so
a) 85%
b)fraction:
to do that, multiply numerator and denominator by 100 and simplify
so
therefore
b)
so, the probability of choosing one orange elastic band si 17/20,
Step 2
to fiind the best word to describe the probability we need to check in the likelihood scale
so, the answer is
Likely
I hope this helps you
