Question

Which THREE statements are correct when determining the likelihood of a chance event occurring?

A)
B)
(9)
D)
E)
A probability of means the event will more than likely occur.
The closer the probability of a chance event is to 0, the less likely it is for
the event to occur.
A chance event with a 0.95 probability of occurring is likely to occur.
A chance event with a 0.35 probability is more likely to occur than an
event with a 0.40 probability.
A chance event with a probability of 0.68 is more likely to occur than an
event with a 0.55 probability.

Answer 1

B A chance event with a 0.95 probability of occurring is likely to occur.

C The closer the probability of a chance event is to 0, the less likely it is for the event to occur.

D A chance event with a 0.35 probability is more likely to occur than an event with a 0.40 probability.

Answer 2

B) The closer the probability of a chance event is to 0, the less likely it is for the event to occur.

C) A chance event with a 0.95 probability of occurring is likely to occur.

D) A chance event with a 0.35 probability is more likely to occur than an event with a 0.40 probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) This statement is incorrect. A probability of 1 means the event is certain to occur, not just "more than likely".

B) This statement is correct. As the probability approaches 0, the likelihood of the event occurring decreases.

C) This statement is correct. A probability of 0.95 indicates a high likelihood of the event occurring.

D) This statement is correct. A probability of 0.35 indicates a higher likelihood of the event occurring than a probability of 0.40.

E) This statement is incorrect. A probability of 0.68 is not necessarily more likely to occur than a probability of 0.55, as it depends on the specific event and its probabilities.
