unlikely
evens
likely
certain
(Diagram in the image attached)

Answer 1

Answer: even.

Explanation:

The probabilities for every option are:

impossible P = 0

unlikely 0 < P ≤ 0.25

evens 0.25 < P < 0.75

likely 0.75 ≤ P < 1

certain P = 1

Here we have a six-sided dice, and we want to find the probability of getting a number equal to 5 or larger.

Then out of the 6 possible outcomes of the dice, we only want the 5 and 6 ones.

Then we have a probability of 2 over 6.

This is:

P = 2/6 = 0.33

We can look at the ranges above, and see that this belongs to the even range.

Then the correct option is even.
