What are the chances of that!!!


Hello Maths group,

Today we have been looking at probability scales, using the work we have done in class I would like you to come up with 2 statements that would be true for each of the 5 points of the probability scale; i.e 2 impossible, 2 unlikely, 2even chance, etc etc.

Good luck

Mr. Bennett
