Question

Simone is stranded on an island. The probability of her finding safety by waiting for help is \dfrac14 4 1 ​ start fraction, 1, divided by, 4, end fraction. The probability of her finding safety by leaving in her raft is 0.320.320, point, 32. Which of these events is more likely?

Answer 1

Answer:

Simone finds safety by leaving in her raft.

P (Safety by waiting for help) = $\frac{1}{4}$ = 0.25

P (Safety by leaving in her raft) = 0.32

0.32 > 0.25

It is more likely that Simone finds safety by leaving in her raft.

Answer 2

Answer:

Finding safety by leaving

Step-by-step explanation:

This was really difficult to read so I'm going to assume that you are supposed to compare 1/4 and .320.

1/4 = .25 < .320

The event with the larger fraction or decimal is more likely.
