Answer:
Calvin throws 12 sheets of paper up in the air.
He randomly catches one of the sheets as they float down.
Of the 12 sheets of paper, 9 are white and 3 are red.
Probability = Number of favorable outcomes/ total number of outcomes
The probability that Calvin caught a white sheet is = [tex]9/12=0.75[/tex] or 75%.
It is likely that this event occurs as above 70% we say that the event is likely and here the probability is 75%.
The probability that Calvin caught a red sheet is =[tex]3/12=0.25[/tex] or 25%
This is unlikely to happen. Thus, we can say that it is not likely event.
