Question

A point is randomly chosen on the grid shown below.

What is the likelihood that the point is in the blue section of the grid?
It is certain.
It is impossible.
It is likely.
It is unlikely.

Answer 1

I can't see mc007-1.jpg — could you either attach the image or describe the grid (how many equal squares/rectangles and which are blue)?

How to decide once I can see it:
- Compute probability = (area of blue region) / (total area).
- If all small cells are equal size, this is just (number of blue cells) / (total number of cells).
- Then compare:
- probability = 1 → "It is certain."
- probability = 0 → "It is impossible."
- probability > 1/2 → "It is likely."
- probability < 1/2 → "It is unlikely."

If you post the image or describe the coloring, I’ll compute it and give the correct choice.
