Probability is a measure of how likely an event is to occur. Match one of the probabilities that follow with each statement of likelihood given. Type the correct letter in each box. You must get all of the answers correct to receive full credit. 1. This event is very unlikely to happen, but it will occur once in a while in a long sequence of trials. 2. This event is certain. It will occur on every trial. 3. This event will occur a little less than half the time over a long sequence of trials. 4. This event will occur more often than not A. 0.42 B. 0.03 C. 0.59 D. 1

Probability is a measure of how likely an event is to occur. Match one of the probabilities that follow with each statement of likelihood given. (The probability is usually a more exact measure of likelihood than is the verbal statement.) A. The event is impossible. It can never occur. B. The event is certain. It will occur every trial. C. This answer is very unlikely, but it will occur every once in a while. D. This even will occur more often than not. E. This answer is very likely, but it will occurs almost always but occasionally it doesn't. F. Half the time the even happens. Half the time the even doesn't happen. A. 0 B. 1 C. 0.01 - 0.6

Write each event in set notation and give the probability of the event. Concept Check Associate each probability in parts (a)-(e) with one of the statements in choices $\mathrm{A}-\mathrm{E}$. (a) $P(E)=0.01$ (b) $P(E)=1$ (c) $P(E)=0.99$ (d) $P(E)=0$ (e) $P(E)=0.5$ A. The event is certain. B. The event is impossible. C. The event is very likely to occur. D. The event is very unlikely to occur. E. The event is just as likely to occur as not to occur.
