Q. The weather forecaster says that tomorrow there is a 92% 92 \% chance that it will rain. Which word or phrase describes the probability that it will rain?\newlinelikely\newlineimpossible\newlineunlikely\newlinean equal chance or 505050-50
  1. Event Probability Scale: The probability of an event is described by how likely it is to occur. The probability scale goes from 00 to 11 (or 0%0\% to 100%100\%), where 00 means the event is impossible, 11 means the event is certain, and 0.50.5 (or 50%50\%) means the event has an equal chance of occurring or not occurring.
  2. Determining Rain Probability: Given that the probability of rain is 92%92\% or 0.920.92, we need to determine where this probability falls on the scale. A probability close to 11 (or 100%100\%) means the event is very likely to occur, while a probability close to 00 means the event is very unlikely to occur.
  3. Interpreting Rain Probability: Since 92%92\% is much closer to 100%100\% than to 0%0\%, the probability that it will rain tomorrow is described as "likely." It is not "impossible" because the probability is not 0%0\%, it is not "unlikely" because the probability is high, and it is not "an equal chance or 5050-5050" because the probability is not 50%50\%.
