Jamiebeatimates that,when he arrives at work tomorrow morning,there is a probability that 0.4 that he will find a convenient parking space. What is Jamie to say?
A. It is very unlikely that he will find a convenient parking space.
B.it is somewhat unlikely that he will find a convenient parking space.
C.it is somewhat likely that he will find a convenient parking space.
D.it is very likely that he will find a parking space.
Is the answer a?
I would pick b)
To find the correct answer, we need to understand the probability given by Jamie. Jamie states that there is a probability of 0.4 that he will find a convenient parking space.
Based on probability, we can determine the likelihood of an event occurring. In this case, a probability of 0.4 indicates that there is a moderate chance (somewhat likely) that Jamie will find a convenient parking space.
Looking at the options, we can eliminate options A and D because they use the terms "very unlikely" and "very likely," which do not align with the given probability.
Option B states that it is "somewhat unlikely" that Jamie will find a convenient parking space, but the given probability suggests the opposite - that it is somewhat likely.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C: "It is somewhat likely that he will find a convenient parking space."
