A probability of 0.5 means the two outcomes are:
- Both quite sure
- Never possible
- Equally likely
- Both impossible
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: C. Equally likely
1. Half of the scale lies on either side of 0.5.
2. Neither outcome is favoured over the other.
3. So winning and losing are equally likely.
4. The answer is equally likely.
