Winning a raffle that sold a total of 100 tickets, if you buy 87 tickets.
Reaching into a bag full of 4 strawberry chews and 16 cherry chews without looking and pulling out a strawberry chew.

Answer 1

Calculate each probability:
- Odd on a 12-sided die: 6/12 = 0.50 (50%)
- Spinner red/green/yellow: 3/4 = 0.75 (75%)
- Winning raffle with 87 of 100 tickets: 87/100 = 0.87 (87%)
- Pulling a strawberry chew: 4/20 = 0.20 (20%)

Most likely: Winning the raffle (87/100).
