Question

The probability that an event will occur is 1/8.Which of these best describes the

likelihood of the event occurring? (5 points)
Likely
Certain
Unlikely
Impossible​

Answer 1

Unlikely

Explanation:

Let's go over the four terms and what they mean.

Likely: Greater than 50% (1/2) and less than 100% (1) chance

Certain: 100% (1) chance or more

Unlikely: Less than 50% (1/2) chance, greater than 0% (0) chance

Impossible: 0% (0) chance

Since 1/8 is less than 50% (also known as 1/2) but greater than 0% (also known as 0), the correct term is unlikely.

Answer 2

unlikely is the correct answer. it isnt impossible but it also isnt above odds.
