Answer 1

✿Answer

The die was rolled 20 times, so the total number of possible outcomes is 20.

The die landed on 5 a total of 4 times, so the probability that a die will land on 5 is 4/20 = 0.2 or 20%.

The die landed on 1 a total of 5 times, so the probability that a die will land on 1 is 5/20 = 0.25 or 25%.

If a probability is unlikely, then the probability is less than 0.5 or 50%. This is because the probability of an event ranges from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain), so any probability less than 0.5 means that the event is less likely to happen than not.
