Likely

Certain

Unlikely

Impossible

Answer: A. Likely

I took a test and got it right.

Likely

First option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability for occurring the event = 95% = 0.95

Let us understand different types of events:-

Certain events: If the probability of occurring an even is 1, then it is a certain event. Impossible events: If the probability of occurring an even is 0, then it is a impossible event. Likely events: If the probability of occurring an even is close to 1, then it is a likely event. Unlikely events: If the probability of occurring an even is close to 0, then it is a unlikely event.

Now, the probability for occurring the event = 95% = 0.95, which is close to 1.

Hence, we can conclude that the event is likely.

First option is correct.
