Q42 of 43 Page 296

Match the proposed probability under Column C1 with the appropriate written description under column C2 :

(a) 0.95 = very likely to happen, so it is close to 1


(b) 0.02 = very little chance of happening as the probability is very low


(c) -0.3 = an incorrect assignment because probability is never negative


(d) 0.5 = as much chance of happening as not because sum of chances of happening and not happening is one


(e) 0 = no chance of happening
