Question

(12.02) Probability is a measure of how likely an event is to occur. Match one of the probabilities that follow with each statement of likelihood given. (The probability is usually a more exact measure of likelihood than is the verbal statement.) 0 0.01 0.45 0.50 0.55 0.99 1

Step 1: This event is impossible. It can never occur at?

Step 2:
This event is certain. It will occur on every trial at?

1

Step 3:
This event is very likely, but it will fail to occur once in a while in a long sequence of trials at?

Step 4:
This event will occur slightly less often than not at?

0.99 0 0.3 1 0.6 0.01

Explanation / Answer

Step 1  event is impossible. It can never occur at when probability is 0.

Answer-B

Step 2-The probability of a certain event = 1

Step 3 - This event is very likely, but it will fail to occur once in a while in a long sequence of trials at

Probability of very likely event = 0.99 Answer-B

Step 4 This event will occur slightly less often than not at Probability of an event which occurs often) = 0.3

answer-C
