Which events are likely to occur? Select all that apply. Multiple select question. A) rolling a 1 or a 2 B) rolling an odd number C) rolling an even number D) rolling a a number less than 6 E) rolling a number greater than 2

Answer 1

• Events D and E are likely to occur.

----------------------------------------

The number cube has sides 1 through 6. The probability of each number is same, 1/6.

Given events below, see how likely they are to occur:

A) rolling a 1 or a 2,

• this is a 2/6 = 1/3 < 1/2, not likely;

B) rolling an odd number,

• this is a 3/6 = 1/2, not likely;

C) rolling an even number,

• this is a 3/6 = 1/2, not likely;

D) rolling a a number less than 6,

• this is 5/6 > 1/2, likely to occur;

E) rolling a number greater than 2,

• this is a 4/6 = 2/3 > 1/2, likely to occur.
