Here are the descriptions of likelihood for each event based on the provided probabilities:

  1. A fair coin lands on heads.

    • Probability = 1/2
    • Description: "Even chance to occur."

  2. The Tigers win a basketball game.

    • Probability = 3/4
    • Description: "Likely to occur."

  3. The arrow of a spinner stops on green.

    • Probability = 1/4
    • Description: "Unlikely to occur."

  4. A multiple of 4 is an even number.

    • Probability = 1
    • Description: "Certain to occur."

  5. A randomly selected person is right-handed.

    • Probability = 4/5
    • Description: "Very likely to occur."

  6. The sum of two even numbers is an odd number.

    • Probability = 0
    • Description: "Impossible to occur."

So the arrangement of rows would read as follows:

  • A fair coin lands on heads: Even chance to occur.
  • The Tigers win a basketball game: Likely to occur.
  • The arrow of a spinner stops on green: Unlikely to occur.
  • A multiple of 4 is an even number: Certain to occur.
  • A randomly selected person is right-handed: Very likely to occur.
  • The sum of two even numbers is an odd number: Impossible to occur.
