Question

Galina spins a spinner with three equally sized colored sections: red, green, and purple. She also rolls a number cube. Which event below has the highest likelihood of occurring?(1 point)

The spinner lands on red, and the number cube lands on 6.
The spinner lands on either green or red, and the number cube lands on 6.
The spinner lands on red, and the number cube lands on an even number.
The spinner lands on either purple or red, and the number cube lands on 3.
why is it not b?

Answer 1

Event (b) "The spinner lands on either green or red, and the number cube lands on 6" does not have the highest likelihood of occurring because only 1 out of the 6 outcomes of rolling the number cube results in a 6. On the other hand, Event (c) "The spinner lands on red, and the number cube lands on an even number" has a higher likelihood of occurring because there are 3 even numbers on a number cube (2, 4, 6) out of a total of 6 possible outcomes. Therefore, Event (c) has the highest likelihood of occurring.
