Question 1 of 7
1. Question
Given that the range of probability of an event happening is $$0\leq\mathsf{P(E)}\leq1$$, enter the equivalent probability for each keyword below:`(i)` Certain`(ii)` Even Chance`(iii)` ImpossibleWrite fractions in the format “a/b”-
`(i)` Certain `=` (1, 1/1, 100/100)`(ii)` Even Chance `=` (½, 1/2, 0.5, 50/100)`(iii)` Impossible `=` (0, 0/1, 0/100)

Range of Probability
$$0\leq\mathsf{P(E)}\leq1$$`(i)` Find the equivalent probability of being certain that an event will happen.This also means a `100%` chance for an event to happen, which is equivalent to the highest possible value for a probabilitycertain`=1``(ii)` Find the equivalent probability of having an even chance that an event will happen.This also means `50%` chance for an even to happen. An example is tossing a coin since there is an even chance for Heads or Tails to show up.even chance`=1/2` or `0.5``(iii)` Find the equivalent probability for an event to be impossible.This also means a `0%` chance for an event to happen, which is equivalent to the lowest possible value for a probabilityimpossible`=0``(i) 1``(ii) 1/2` or `0.5``(iii) 0` -
