To determine which of these contexts describes a situation that is likely, let's analyze each option:
-
Rolling a number greater than 6 on a standard six-sided die, numbered from 1 to 6.
This situation is impossible, as the highest number on the die is 6. Therefore, the probability is 0. -
Spinning a spinner divided into four equal-sized sections colored red/green/yellow/blue and landing on red.
Since there are four equal sections, the probability of landing on red is 1 in 4, or 25%. This is a possible event, but it's not highly likely since there's a 75% chance of landing on a different color. -
Winning a raffle that sold a total of 100 tickets if you bought 99 tickets.
In this situation, your chance of winning is very high since there are only 100 tickets and you own 99 of them. The probability of winning is 99 out of 100, or 99%. -
Reaching into a bag full of 17 strawberry chews and 3 cherry chews without looking and pulling out a cherry chew.
Here, the probability of pulling out a cherry chew is 3 out of 20 (since there are 20 chews total), which is 15%. This is a possibility but not very likely.
Based on this analysis, the situation that is most likely is:
Winning a raffle that sold a total of 100 tickets if you bought 99 tickets.
