Which event is least likely to occur?
Answer
Rolling a number less than or equal to 2 on a six-sided die, numbered
from 1 to 6 .
Spinning a spinner divided into five equal-sized sections colored
red/green/yellow/blue/purple and landing on some color.
Winning a raffle that sold a total of 100 tickets, if you buy 98 tickets.
Reaching into a bag full of 8 strawberry chews and 52 cherry chews
without looking and pulling out a strawberry chew.

To roll a number less than or equal to 2 on a six-sided die, you’re looking at a 2 out of 6 chance, or 33.33%. In contrast, you have an equal 20% chance of landing on any specific color when spinning the spinner. Winning a raffle with 98 out of 100 tickets gives you a whopping 98% probability! As for reaching into the bag, the odds of grabbing a strawberry chew are only 8 out of 60, about 13.33%. So, that strawberry chew is definitely the least likely to be pulled out!

So, in terms of likelihood, the strawberry chew comes in at the bottom of the probability ladder. The massive number of cherry chews means your odds aren’t in your favor with that tasty red treat! If only strawberry chews could be the star of the bag more often!
