answer if event is impossible, unlikely,as likely as not , likely or certain

1. of the original 56 singers of the declartion of independence four of them represented north carolina if you slected one singer randomly how likely is it that he represented north carolina

4/56 is unlikely

To determine the likelihood of a singer randomly selected from the original 56 signers representing North Carolina, we need to calculate the probability.

There were 56 signers in total, and out of those, four represented North Carolina.

The probability of selecting a signer who represented North Carolina can be calculated by dividing the number of signers who represented North Carolina (4) by the total number of signers (56):

Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes

Probability = 4 / 56

Simplifying the fraction, 4/56 becomes 1/14.

So, the likelihood that a randomly selected singer represented North Carolina is 1 out of 14.

Based on this calculation, the event is considered unlikely.
