Lesson Worksheet: Probability Mathematics
In this worksheet, we will practice describing probability using words like “certain,” “likely,” “unlikely,” and “impossible.”
Q1:

- Alikely
- Bunlikely
- Cimpossible
- Dcertain
Q2:
If the spinner is spun once, determine whether it is certain, likely, unlikely, or impossible that the pointer stops on a number that is a multiple of 3.
- Aimpossible
- Blikely
- Cunlikely
- Dcertain
