Answer:

The probabilities are listed as:

P(Ella wins) = 0.75

P(Danila wins) = 5% or 0.05

P(Sophia wins) = 1/5 or 0.2

To determine the order of least to most likely events:

- The probability of Danila winning is the lowest at just 5%. Therefore, Danila winning is the least likely event.

- The probability of Sophia winning (0.2) is greater than Danila's probability of winning (0.05). Hence, Sophia winning is more likely than Danila winning.

- Finally, Ella has the highest probability of winning (0.75) among all three contestants. So, Ella winning is the most likely event.

Therefore, the order of least to most likely events is: Danila wins, Sophia wins, Ella wins.
