An event with a probability of 0.10 can be classified as an **unlikely event**.
Here’s the reasoning:
- A **certain event** has a probability of 1 (100% chance of occurring).
- An **impossible event** has a probability of 0 (0% chance of occurring).
- A **likely event** usually has a probability greater than 0.5 (more than a 50% chance of occurring).
- An **unlikely event** is typically associated with a probability less than 0.5 but greater than 0, which fits the event E with a probability of 0.10.
Therefore, the correct classification is "Unlikely event."
