Answer 1

B, C, and D are correct.

B) 0 indicates a certain event, meaning the event is guaranteed to occur.

C) 1 indicates an impossible event, meaning the event has no chance of occurring.

D) 0.5 indicates that the event is equally likely to occur or not occur, meaning there is a 50/50 chance of it happening.

A and E are incorrect because a probability of 0.75 or 0.25 does not necessarily indicate that the event is unlikely. It depends on the context and the specific probability scale being used.
