Answer:

Event 1 < Event 3 < Event 4 < event 2

Step-by-step explanation;

To arrange the events from least probable to most probable, we first find their probabilities.

Event 1;

There are no white pens in box b; therefore, the probability of getting a white pen is 0%.

Event 2:

There are only orange and red pens in box A; therefore, the probability of choosing a red or an orange pen is 100%.

Event 3:

The probability of choosing an orange pen from box B is 7/13+7 x 100% = 35%

Event 4:

The probability of choosing a red pen from box A is

6 / 6+ 6 x 100% = 50 %

Therefore, the events when ordered from least likely to most likely are

Event 1 < Event 3 < Event 4 < event 2
