Exercise 32 Page 289

Use the diagram that relates the likelihoods and probabilities.

Unlikely, 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 it rains on 15 days in June. Let's mark this number on our diagram!

Looking at the diagram, we can see that our probability of 15 is close to the probability of 14 on the diagram In this case, it is unlikely that it will rain in June.
