Studdy Solution
Compare the probabilities:
- Rolling a 5: 160.1667\frac{1}{6} \approx 0.1667 - Landing on blue or green: 12=0.5\frac{1}{2} = 0.5 - Winning the raffle: 99100=0.99\frac{99}{100} = 0.99 - Pulling out a strawberry or cherry chew: 11
The least likely event is rolling a 5 on a standard six-sided die.
The situation that is unlikely is:
Rolling a 5 on a standard six-sided die.
