Question: 1 / 400

Which probability event has the highest likelihood of occurring?

Observing a number less than 5 when rolling a 6-sided die

Randomly selecting an odd number from the first 15 whole numbers

Flipping a coin twice and observing heads both times

Randomly selecting a consonant from the first 10 letters of the alphabet

The highest likelihood of occurrence among the given events can be explained by examining the probability of each event.

When considering the event of randomly selecting a consonant from the first 10 letters of the alphabet (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J), we identify the consonants: B, C, D, F, G, H, and J. This gives us 7 consonants out of 10 letters total, resulting in a probability of selecting a consonant of 7 out of 10, or 0.7.

In comparison, when assessing the other events:

- Observing a number less than 5 when rolling a 6-sided die includes the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4, which totals 4 favorable outcomes out of 6 possible outcomes, giving a probability of 2/3, or approximately 0.67.

- Randomly selecting an odd number from the first 15 whole numbers (0 through 14) yields odd numbers like 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, and 15, totaling 8 odd numbers out of 15. This results in
