Question

The probabilities for four different simple events are given. Of the four, which is MOST LIKELY to occur?

A. 0.5


B. 0.9


C. 0.35


D. 0.0100

Answer 1

im not 100% sure but i would say c

Answer 2

the one that is most probable is the one that is most likely to happen, ie the one that is closes to having a 100% chance of happening

100%=1 so the number closes to 1 is the most likely
we can't have a probility of more than 1 so we can say that the greatest number is most likely


if we rank the numbers we get
0.9>0.5>0.35>0.00100

so the answer is B. 0.9 which is equivilent to an 90% chance of the event occuring
