In maths we have been learning about probability. We have been discussing how we can use the phrases certain, unlikely, likely and impossible to describe the likelohood of an event occuring. We also learned about evens meaning that there is a 50-50 chance of something happening.
Can you choose one (or more) of the phrases and write an event that’s likelihood is described by the phrase.
