The probability that an event will occur is 1/8.Which of these best describes the
likelihood of the event occurring? (5 points)
Likely
Certain
Unlikely
Impossible

unlikely is the correct answer. it isnt impossible but it also isnt above odds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Unlikely

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's go over the four terms and what they mean.

Likely: Greater than 50% (1/2) and less than 100% (1) chance

Certain: 100% (1) chance or more

Unlikely: Less than 50% (1/2) chance, greater than 0% (0) chance

Impossible: 0% (0) chance

Since 1/8 is less than 50% (also known as 1/2) but greater than 0% (also known as 0),  the correct term is unlikely.

problem:

f(x) = - 2/3x + 5; f(5/2)

substitute 5/2 in for x:

f(5/2) = -2/3(5/2) + 5

simplify the right side:

f(5/2) = -5/3 + 5

f(5/2) = 10/3

f(5/2) = 10/3

i hope this !
