Question

The probability of a hurricane being within 100 miles of a location in two days is 40%.

likely or unlikely

Answer 1

Answer: Unlikely

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

When the probability of an event is

• 100% , then it is known as certain.
• 0% , then it is known as uncertain.
• <50% then , it is unlikely to happen.
• >50% then it is likely to happen.

Given : The probability of a hurricane being within 100 miles of a location in two days is 40%.

Event : " Hurricane being within 100 miles of a location in two days "

Clearly, 40% < 50%.

Therefore , it unlikely to happen a hurricane being within 100 miles of a location in two days.
