Multiple Choice Answers
Rolling a 2 on a standard six-sided die, numbered from 1 to 6.
Spinning a spinner divided into four equal-sized sections colored red/green/yellow/blue and landing on yellow or blue or green.
Winning a raffle that sold a total of 100 tickets if you bought 1 ticket.
Reaching into a bag full of 10 strawberry chews and 10 cherry chews without looking and pulling out a lemon chew.

Answer 1

The spinner (landing on yellow, blue, or green) is the likely situation.

Reasoning (probabilities):
- Die shows 2: 1/6 ≈ 0.167 (not likely).
- Spinner lands on yellow/blue/green: 3/4 = 0.75 (likely).
- Raffle win with 1 of 100 tickets: 1/100 = 0.01 (not likely).
- Pull a lemon from a bag with only strawberry and cherry: 0 (impossible).
