Likely
The probability of drawing a nickel is 4 nickels out of a total of 16 coins, which can be expressed as 4/16 or simplified to 1/4. In terms of the probability scale in the illustration, this falls under the "Likely" category, with a fraction of 3/4 and a percentage of 75%.

An illustration shows a probability scale with five outcomes expressed as a decimal, a fraction, and in percentages. The illustration is described as follows. Impossible: 0, 0, 0 percent. Unlikely: start fraction 1 over 4 end fraction, 0.25, 25 percent. Even chance: start fraction 1 over 2 end fraction, 0.50, 50 percent. Likely: start fraction 3 over 4 end fraction, 0.75, 75 percent. Certain: 1, 1, 100 percent.
You have a bag of mixed coins. The bag contains 4 nickels, 3 dimes, 6 quarters, and 3 half-dollars. Based on your understanding of probability, what is the likelihood of drawing a nickel?
