Chance events
How likely is it?
Weather forecasts
Forecasters say how likely rain is. Chance words help describe what might happen. Each possible result is an outcome.
Possible outcomes
This spinner has 4 outcomes. Each colour has the same space. All outcomes are equally likely.
More and less likely
5 of 6 sections are blue. Landing on blue is likely. Landing on red is unlikely – but possible.
A chance scale
Impossible is at 0. Certain is at 1. Even chance (like a coin toss) is ½. Place events along the scale.
