This event is certain to happen.
This event will not happen.
The probability is 1.
The probability is 0.

Answer 1

Answer:

the probability is the event is certain to happen

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

This event is certain to happen.

The probability is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability theory aims to explain the chance of an event occurring. In this case, there are 3 yellow balls, 4 blue balls and 8 red balls. The total of balls will be 3 + 4 + 8 = 15

If a random ball is removed, it can be any of three colors. The color that has the most balls will have a higher chance of being chosen from the 15 totals.

Likelihood of drawing a red ball: 8/15

Probability of a yellow ball: 3/15

Blue ball probability: 4/15

The question explains that only one ball will be removed and explains that there are only 3 colors. Therefore, when removing a ball, it will certainly be one of three colors.

This can be confirmed by adding the probability of each ball: 8/15 + 3/15 + 4/15 = 15/15 = 1

Thus, if a primary ball is removed, it will certainly be one of three colors. Moreover we can say that chance of being red is greater than being blue, which is greater than being yellow.
