Answer:
Probabilities
Likely to happen (L) Unlikely to happen (U)
a. 4/5 5/8
b. 3/5 3/8
c. 4/5 4/7
d. 0.3 0.09
e. 5/6 and 4/5 2/3
Explanation:
Probabilities in Percentages:
a. The probability of 4/5 = 80% and 5/8 = 62.5%
b. The probability of 3/8 = 37.5% and 3/5 = 60%
c. The probability of 4/5 = 80% and 4/7 = 57%
d. The probability of 0.3 = 30% and 0.09 = 9%
e. The probability of 2/3 = 67% and 4/5 = 80% and 5/6 = 83%
b) To determine the relative values of the fractional probabilities, it is best to reduce them to their fractional or percentage terms. When this is done, the relative sizes become obvious, and then, comparisons can be made.
