Answer: Unlikely
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The probability of choosing a penny from the 1980s from the bag of pennies without looking=[tex]\frac{3}{40}=0.075[/tex]
We know that the probability of any event lies between 0 and 1.
- If probability of occurring event is 0 then the event is impossible.
- If probability of occurring any event is 1 then the event certain.
- If probability of occurring any event lies between 0.5 and 1 then the event is said to be likely.
- If probability of occurring any event lies between 0 and 0.5 then the event is said to be unlikely.
Since, 0.075 lieas between 0 and 0.5, therefore the event is said to be unlikely.
