Answer 1

Likely

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that Joshua will lose a turn is:

`0.8`

Remember that probability is a number between 0 and 1.

Where 0 represents--> Impossible; not going to happen

And 1 represents --> Certain, 100% going to happen.

Since 0.8 is neither 0 nor 1, this discards the options impossible and certain, because it is not impossible that he loses his turn, but it is also not certain.

In this case, the value of 0.8 represents a percentage of 80%, Since it is a value closer to 100% than closer to 0% it makes it likely to happen (but not certain since it is not 100%)

Answer:

Likely
