Answer 1

a. Chesley McNeil, local meteorologist, said there is a 75% chance of rain today. The probability of rain is Likely (75% is close to 100%)

b. The probability of tossing a 6-sided number cube and rolling a number less than 1 is impossible (in a 6-sided number cube, numbers go from 1 to 6, then it's impossible to roll a number less than 1)

c. The probability of tossing a number cube and rolling an odd number is​ as likely as not (there are 3 odd numbers and 3 even number on the cube)
