b. He selects a tile with the number 4.

c. He selects a tile with a number greater than 7.

d. He selectgs a tile with a number less than 6.

please answer and explain

Answer 1

how many tiles satisfy each category?

pick the one with the highest number of matching tiles (should be more than half the tiles, to make it "likely")

Answer 2

1/8

Answer 3

In this case, the answer would be option d. "He selects a tile with a number less than 6." This is because there are five tiles (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) that have numbers less than 6 out of a total of eight tiles. Since five is more than half of eight, it is a likely outcome that Regis would select a tile with a number less than 6.
