Question 972359: The measure of how likely an event will occur is probability. Match the following probability with one of the statements. There is only one answer per statement.
0 0.25 0.60 1
a. This event is certain and will happen every time.
b. This event will happen more often than not.
c. This event will never happen.

a) 1
b) 0.60, greater than 0.50 makes it more often that not (in this case probability of not would be 0.40)
c) 0
d) 0.25, likely and occasionally are not synonyms though (so this is confusing but it's the only answer left)
