Question 96

An event has a probability of 0.05. Select all statements that are true about this event. Select all that apply.

The event is unlikelyCorrect answer
The event is impossible
The event can still happenCorrect answer
The event sits nearer to 0 than to the halfway point of the scaleCorrect answer
The event has an even chance of happening

Explanation

A value of 0.05 sits much nearer the bottom of the scale than its halfway point of 0.5, so the event occurs rarely, about five times in a hundred, which is what the word unlikely records and what rules out an even chance. Only a value of exactly 0 marks an event that can never occur, so a small positive figure still leaves the event open however seldom it happens.
