Regis has a bag with 8 tiles numbered 1 through 8. He randomly draws one tile from the bag without looking.Which of the following decribes a likely outcome?
a. He selects a tile with the number 0.
b. He selects a tile with the number 4.
c. He selects a tile with a number greater than 7.
d. He selectgs a tile with a number less than 6.
please answer and explain
how many tiles satisfy each category?
pick the one with the highest number of matching tiles (should be more than half the tiles, to make it "likely")
1/8
In this case, the answer would be option d. "He selects a tile with a number less than 6." This is because there are five tiles (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) that have numbers less than 6 out of a total of eight tiles. Since five is more than half of eight, it is a likely outcome that Regis would select a tile with a number less than 6.
The likely outcome can be determined by analyzing the given information. We know that Regis has a bag with 8 tiles numbered 1 through 8, and he randomly draws one tile without looking.
a. The bag does not contain a tile with the number 0, as the tiles are numbered from 1 through 8. Therefore, option a is not a likely outcome.
b. Since there are 8 tiles numbered 1 through 8, and Regis randomly selects one, the likelihood of him selecting a tile with the number 4 is possible. So, option b is a likely outcome.
c. The tile numbers range from 1 to 8, so there are no numbers greater than 8 in the bag. Therefore, option c is not a likely outcome.
d. Given that Regis has a bag with 8 tiles numbered 1 through 8, and he randomly selects one, it is likely that he will select a tile with a number less than 6. So, option d is a likely outcome.
Therefore, the likely outcome is that Regis selects a tile with the number 4, which corresponds to option b.
