Question

Suppose you have a bag of colored elastic bands and you choose one without looking. The probability the elastic band you choose is is ​P(​). Write this probability as a percent and a fraction. Use a word or phrase to describe this probability.

Answer 1

Answer:

50 for part 1. 1/2 for part 2. Part 3 As likely as not.

Step-by-step explanation:

For part 1, To write the decimal as a​ percent, write the decimal as a fraction with denominator 100. The numerator of the fraction is the percent.

For part 3, The probability of an event is a number from 0 to 1 that measures the likelihood the event will occur. If the probability is between 0 and​ 0.5, the event is unlikely to occur. If the probability is between 0.5 and​ 1, the event is likely to occur. If the probability is​ 0.5, the occurrence of the event is as likely as not.
