- 0.05
- \(\frac{20}{50}\)

Answer :

From smallest to highest probability the chances of winning are: 0.05, 20 / 50, 42%, 11 / 25

How to get the probability

Probability is a measure quantifying the likelihood of a specific event occurring or not occurring. It is expressed as a number between 0 and 1, where 0 indicates an impossible event, 1 signifies a certain event, and values in between represent varying degrees of likelihood.

To do this we have to arrange the probabilities in ascending order

42% = 0.42

11 / 25 = 44% = 0.44

0.05 = 5%

20 / 50 = 0.40 = 40%

In ascending order we have

0.05, 20 / 50, 42%, 11 / 25
