Exercise 29 Page 289

Use the diagram that relates the likelihoods and probabilities.

Likely, see solution.

Practice makes perfect
We want to describe the likelihood of the given event. We can recall that the probability of an event is the number between 0 and 1 that represents the likelihood that the event will occur. We also know that the diagram relates the likelihood, above the diagram, to the probabilities listed below the diagram.

We know that the probability that our soccer team wins is 34. Let's mark this probability on our diagram!

Looking at the diagram, we can see that the probability of 34 is equal to 0.75 or 75 %. In this case, it is likely that our soccer team will win.
