Question

your math teacher says that there is a 25% chance that you will have a pop quiz today. which statement describes the likelihood that you will have a pop quiz today?
you will not have a pop quiz today.
it is neither likely nor unlikely that you will have a pop quiz today.
it is unlikely that you will have a pop quiz today.
it is likely that you will have a pop quiz today.

Explanation:

Step1: Understand probability terms

Likely means probability \(> 50\%\), unlikely means probability \(< 50\%\) but \(>0\%\), neither likely nor unlikely means probability \( = 50\%\), and \(25\%<50\%\)

Step2: Match with probability description

Since \(25\%\) is a relatively low probability, it is in the range of unlikely events (where probability is between \(0\%\) and \(50\%\))

Answer:

It is unlikely that you will have a pop quiz today.
