A first look

This shelf is still being planted — the questions are being written and checked. Come back soon. A Skill needs at least 5 checked questions before it opens here.

Question 1 of 3

A student says that the chance his school bus will arrive on time tomorrow is about the same as the chance of rolling an even number on a standard six‑sided die. Which number on a 0‑to‑1 probability scale should he write for the bus arriving on time?

Question 2 of 3

Why does a fair six‑sided die give each number a probability of 1/6?

Question 3 of 3

Which of the following everyday events has a probability closest to 0.5 (half) on the 0‑to‑1 probability scale?
