Answer:

Unlikely

Explanation:

THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW;

The probability that an event will occur is 1/8 . Which of these best describes the likelihood of the event occurring? (5 points)

Group of answer choices

Likely

Certain

Unlikely

Impossible

EXPLANATION :

Probability is an aspect of mathematics that measures the likelihood of an event. When the probability is high then there the event is likely to occur, also when the probability is low the event is likely not to happen.

✓ Probability has it's number between( 0 and 1).

✓when probability has it's value has 1 means it's CERTAIN.

8/8 = 1 (certain)

✓When probability has it's value as 0 means it's IMPOSSIBLE

P( Of an event) = 0. ----> IMPOSSIBLE

0/8 ( impossible)

✓When probability has it's value less than < 1/2 means it's unlikely to occur.

P( of an event )< 1/2 ----------->UNLIKELY

1/8 ( unlikely)

✓When probability has it's value greater than > 1/2 then the event is likely to occur.

P( of an event )> 1/2 ----------->LIKELY

From the question the probability that an event will occur is 1/8 is unlikely since the value is less than 1/2
