How probable is it? Someone computes the probabilities of several events. The probabilities are listed below. Select the best verbal description for each probability. Part 1 of 8 (a) The probability 0.88 indicates that (Choose one) . Part 2 of 8 (b) The probability 0.01 indicates that (Choose one) . Part 3 of 8 (c) The probability 0.17 Indicates that \( \square \) (Choose one) . Part 4 of 8 (d) The probability 1.00 indicates that \( \square \) (Choose one) .

To provide the best verbal descriptions for each probability, we can analyze the values given: ### Part 1 of 8 (a) The probability 0.88 indicates that: - **Best Description:** It is very likely to occur. (Probabilities close to 1 indicate a high likelihood of the event happening.) ### Part 2 of 8 (b) The probability 0.01 indicates that: - **Best Description:** It is very unlikely to occur. (Probabilities close to 0 indicate a low likelihood of the event happening.) ### Part 3 of 8 (c) The probability 0.17 indicates that: - **Best Description:** It is somewhat unlikely to occur. (This probability suggests a low chance, but not as low as 0.01.) ### Part 4 of 8 (d) The probability 1.00 indicates that: - **Best Description:** It is certain to occur. (A probability of 1 means the event will definitely happen.) These descriptions provide a clear understanding of the likelihood associated with each probability value.
