Question

In an experiment with a bag of marbles, P(green) = five tenths. Interpret the likelihood of choosing a green marble.

Likely
Unlikely
Equally likely and unlikely
This value is not possible to represent probability of a chance event.

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation: 5/10 is equal to 50% or 1/2 which is equally likely and unlikely.

Answer 2

The likelihood of choosing a green marble is (c) Equally likely and unlikely

How to determine the likelihood of choosing a green marble

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

P(green) = five tenths.

Express five tenths as a mathematical expression

So, we have the following representation

P(green) = 5/10

Evaluate the quotient

This gives

P(green) = 0.50

A probability of 0.50 is halfway between 0 and 1

This means that it is likely and unlikely at the same time

Hence, the statement that represents the interpretation of the likelihood of choosing a green marble is (c) Equally likely and unlikely
