Galine spins a spinner with three equally sized colors: red, green and purple. She also rolls a number cube. Which event below has the highest likelihood of occurring?
1. Spinner lands on red and the number cube on an even number.
2. Spinner lands on red and the number cube lands on a 6.
3. Spinner lands on either green or red, and the cube lands on a 6.
4. Spinner land on either purple or red, and the cube lands on a 3.
Event 1 has the highest likelihood of occurring.
The probability of the spinner landing on red is 1/3 and the probability of the number cube landing on an even number is 3/6 (since there are three even numbers out of six on a standard number cube).
Multiplying the probabilities:
1/3 * 3/6 = 1/6
So the likelihood of Event 1 occurring is 1/6.
