Question

The probability of randomly selecting a name starting with the letter T from a bowl of 24 names is . Which of the following describes the likelihood of selecting a name starting with the letter T? A. neither unlikely nor likely B. likely

Answer 1

The probability of randomly selecting a name starting with the letter T from bowl of 24 names depends on the names that are in the bowl,. The number 24 says nothing about the names. There can be neither probability that the randomly selected name starts with T, if in the bowl none of the 24 names starts with T. 
It could be also unlikely to select a name starting with T if there is a really small number of names in the bowl starting with T (for example 1 or 2 from 24). And it can be likely to chose a name  that start with T if there are many names in the bowl starting with T.So, it is important to know the number of names in the bowl starting with T.
