Complete question :

Leanne collects data throughout the basketball season and uses these data to determine the probabilities of different teams playing in the league championship game. The probabilities for her four favorite teams playing in the championship game are shown below.

Tiger: P= 2/3

Redbirds: P= 4/5

Bulldogs: P= 3/8

Titans: P= 1/2

Which of these teams is at least likely to play in the championship game?

A)tigers

B)redbrids

C)bulldogs

D)titans

Answer:

Bulldogs

Explanation:

Probability of each team is given above, we can. Convert the probabilities to decimal and compare ;

Tiger: P= 2/3 = 0.667

Redbirds: P= 4/5 = 0.8

Bulldogs: P= 3/8 = 0.375

Titans: P= 1/2 = 0.5

From the probability values obtained, we can conclude that bulldogs are the least likely to win as they have the lowest probability value.
