Complete question:

Sarah is playing a board game. The probability that Sarah will score a point on her next turn is 1/3. Which statement describes the probability that Sarah will score a point on her next turn?

A. likely

B. certain

C.unlikely

D.impossible​

Answer:

C. unlikely

Explanation:

If the probability that Sarah will score a point on her next turn is 1 which is 100%, then it will be certain that she will score a point on her next turn.

Again, If the probability that Sarah will score a point on her next turn is ¹/₂ which is 50%, then it will be likely that she will score a point on her next turn.

Also, If the probability that Sarah will score a point on her next turn is ¹/₃ which is 33%, then it will be unlikely that she will score a point on her next turn.

Furthermore, If the probability that Sarah will score a point on her next turn is 0 which is 0%, then it will be impossible​ that she will score a point on her next turn.

Thus, the correct statement for the given question is "unlikely"
