The probability that an event will occur is 1/4. which of the following best describes the likelihood of the event occurring?
likely
certain
unlikely
impossible

Unlikely is the answer because
certain would be 100 
impossible would be 0
and its unlikely because 1/4 is 25 (unlikely)

Hey!

Let's see here. If an event occurs only  of the time out of  of the time, then it will probably never happen again. If your not good with fractions, the best way to solve this problem would be to use or create a pie chart that represents the situation.

Below the answer, I have provided a pie chart for you take a look at. Notice how the graph is shaded in two different colors. The part of the graph that is shaded orange represents the  probability of the event occurring again. And the area shaded in green represents the rest of the whole.

The orange portion of the pie chart is much less than that which is green.

This shows us that the likelihood of that event occurring again is in fact  unlikely.

Hope this helps!
