If the probability of a chance event is 0.82 it is more likely to happen than which of the following probabilities of another chance event?

A) 0.9

B) 0.85

C) 0.8

C

Step-by-step explanation:

When talking about probabilities, the probability that surely an event will occur or happen is 1. This means it is 100% occurrence sure.

Now, some events will never happen. The probability of these events happening is 0 or the probability of them not happening is 1.

What we derive from here is that the probabilities of events have a range of values. That is from 0 to 1. A value closer to zero means that surely, the event has a very low occurrence rate while a probability closer to 1 means that event is very closely likely to happen.

Thus, events with probabilities closer to 1 are more likely to happen. This means that the more the probability is closer to 1, the more likely that it will happen than an event which is less closer to 1.

Now, let's look at the probability values given in the question. We can see that only the third option has a probability lesser than what we have in the question which is 0.82. Thus, it is less likely to occur compared to the value of the probability given in the question.
