Tell whether each event is impossible, unlikely, as likely as not, likely, or certain. Then tell whether a probability is zero, close to 0, 1/2, close to 1, or 1. 1. You roll a six-sided, and the number is less than 2.

Answer:

close to 0

Explanation:

Our probability P(E) = number of desired outcome/number of possible outcomes.

Since we have a six-sided die, the number of possible outcomes = 6.

Also, since we have a number less than 2, which that number is 1, the number of desired outcomes is 1.

So probability of obtaining a number less x than 2 is the probability of obtaining a 1 = P(1).

So, P(1) = 1/6 = 0.1667

Since P(1) = 0.1667, it is close to 0.

So, the answer is close to 0.
