Given that the probability of a chance event is a number between 0 and 1 that expresses the likelihood of the event occurring, choose all that are correct.
Responses
A 0.75 indicates an unlikely event0.75 indicates an unlikely event
B 0 indicates a certain event0 indicates a certain event
C 1 indicates an impossible event1 indicates an impossible event
D 0.5 indicates equally likely to occur or not occur0.5 indicates equally likely to occur or not occur
E 0.25 indicates an unlikely event0.25 indicates an unlikely event

B, C, and D are correct.
B) 0 indicates a certain event, meaning the event is guaranteed to occur.
C) 1 indicates an impossible event, meaning the event has no chance of occurring.
D) 0.5 indicates that the event is equally likely to occur or not occur, meaning there is a 50/50 chance of it happening.
A and E are incorrect because a probability of 0.75 or 0.25 does not necessarily indicate that the event is unlikely. It depends on the context and the specific probability scale being used.
The correct responses are:
B. 0 indicates a certain event
C. 1 indicates an impossible event
D. 0.5 indicates equally likely to occur or not occur
The correct answers are:
B. 0 indicates a certain event - When the probability is 0, it means that the event is certain not to occur.
C. 1 indicates an impossible event - When the probability is 1, it means that the event is impossible to occur.
D. 0.5 indicates equally likely to occur or not occur - When the probability is 0.5, it means that the event is equally likely to occur or not occur.
So, the correct options are B, C, and D.
