Question

question
which event is least likely to occur?
answer attempt 1 out of 3
rolling a number greater than or equal to 4 on a twelve-sided die, numbered from 1 to 12.
spinning a spinner divided into five equal-sized sections colored red/green/yellow/blue/purple and landing on yellow or purple.
winning a raffle that sold a total of 100 tickets, if you buy 93 tickets.
reaching into a bag full of 8 strawberry chews and 72 cherry chews without looking and pulling out a strawberry chew.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate die event probability

Total outcomes: 12. Favorable outcomes (≥4): $12 - 3 = 9$.
Probability: $\frac{9}{12} = 0.75$

Step2: Calculate spinner event probability

Total sections: 5. Favorable sections: 2.
Probability: $\frac{2}{5} = 0.4$

Step3: Calculate raffle event probability

Total tickets: 100. Favorable tickets: 93.
Probability: $\frac{93}{100} = 0.93$

Step4: Calculate chew event probability

Total chews: $8 + 72 = 80$. Favorable chews: 8.
Probability: $\frac{8}{80} = 0.1$

Step5: Compare all probabilities

$0.93 > 0.75 > 0.4 > 0.1$

Answer:

Reaching into a bag full of 8 strawberry chews and 72 cherry chews without looking and pulling out a strawberry chew.
