Answer:Calvin throws 12 sheets of paper up in the air.

He randomly catches one of the sheets as they float down.

Of the 12 sheets of paper, 9 are white and 3 are red.

Probability = Number of favorable outcomes/ total number of outcomes

The probability that Calvin caught a white sheet is = or 75%.

It is likely that this event occurs as above 70% we say that the event is likely and here the probability is 75%.

The probability that Calvin caught a red sheet is = or 25%

This is unlikely to happen. Thus, we can say that it is not likely event.
