Question

Which of the following probability can represent a likely event?

• A. $0.5$
• B. $0.70$
• C. $0.95$
• D. $1.02$

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

$0.95$

$\underset{–}{\text{Likely Event}:}$
An event whose chances of occurrence is greater than chances of non-occurrence is called $likelyevent$. Probability of a likely event lies between $0.5$ and $1.$

Hence, out of the given probabilities, $0.5,0.70,0.95$ and $1.02$ only $\underset{–}{0.70}$ and $\underset{–}{0.95}$ qualifies to be the probabilities of likely event.
