Question

Determine whether the event is impossible, unlikely, as likely as not, likely, or certain. Then tell whether the probability is 0, close to 0, 1/2, close to 1 or 1.

Picking a number that is divisible by 5 from a jar with papers labeled from 1 to 12.

The numbers divisible by 5 from 1 to 12 are 5 and 10, so there are two positive outputs from a total of 12 possible events and the probabily of picking a number that is divisible by 5 is 2 / 12 = 1/6.

My answer is that this is likely as not
the Probability is 1
Is my answer correct?

Answer 1

2 out of 12 picks get you a number divisible by 5 (that is only 2 divided by 12 of a chance). This is NOT very likely....
You have stated you think the probability is 1, the 1 you have stated means 100% chance.
Do you still feel your answer is correct?

Answer 2

unlikely. Probabality is 1/6, which is very low,not close to 1

Answer 3

Hello so then this would be unlikely then and the probability is close to 0 is that right?

Answer 4

Correct.

Answer 5

picking a number thatt is divisible by 5 from a jar with papers labeled from
1 to 2

Answer 6

yes
