Probability (A Vocabulary Review)

Don't peek! See if you can answer the questions above correctly before we go on.
Answers:
1. less likely    2. less likely    3. more likely    4.more likely

Now you know the math words: less likely, more likely, possible, impossible, fair, and unfair.
Another way to say "fair" is "equal chance". If I flip a coin there is an equal chance that it will be heads or tails. This is fair.
The last one to learn is "certain". This means that something will happen. An example would be "It is certain that the sun will come up in the morning and go down in the evening". Can you think of other things that are certain to happen?
