Answer:

the fourth option

Explanation:

Probability calculates the likelihood of an event occurring. The likelihood of the event occurring lies between 0 and 1. It is zero if the event does not occur and 1 if the event occurs.

For example, the probability that it would rain on Friday is between o and 1. If it rains, a value of one is attached to the event. If it doesn't a value of zero is attached to the event.

Probability of choosing a red spiral = number of red spiral / total sum of spirals in the bag

1st option = 2 / 4 = 1/2

2nd option = 4/8 = 1/2

3rd option = 2/3

4th option = 2/6 = 1/3

the fourth option is correct
