Question

If the probability of a chance event is 0.82, it is more likely to happen than which of the following probabilities of another chance event?

answers
1,
0.9,
0.8,
0.85

Answer 1

0.8

Explanation:

Things to remember:

- You can add as many 0's on the end of a decimal and it will still equal the same number, as long as the 0's are on the right side of the decimal point. For example, 0.7 = 0.7000.

- The lowest value has the lowest probability

So, let's rewrite the options with the same amount of decimal points:

1.00

0.90

0.80

0.85

Now, find the value under 0.82. In this option, the lowest value is 0.80, and it is under 0.82, so it is the answer.
