List the following from LEAST likely to MOST likely to happen

• Unlikely, certain, likely, impossible, even chance

• Impossible, unlikely, likely, even chance, certain

• Unlikely, impossible, even chance, likely, certain

• Impossible, unlikely, even chance, likely, certain

What is the difference between experimental and theoretical probability?

• Theoretical probability is what should happen, experimental probability is what does happen

• Theoretical probability is what does happen, experimental probability is what should happen

• They are both probabilities of what does happen

• They are both probabilities of what should happen
