Let’s go through each problem one by one. We’re looking at whether something is
certain,
likely,
unlikely, or
impossible.
---
1. Find a pizza in the delivered pizza box.
→ The picture shows a real pizza inside the box. So if you open it, you’ll definitely find a pizza.
✔ That is
certain
2. Find a bewitched prince in the delivered pizza box.
→ Pizza boxes don’t have princes — especially not magical ones! This can’t happen.
✔ That is
impossible
---
3. What is the probability to have a red gumball?
→ The gumball machine has mostly red gumballs (looks like 9 out of 10 are red). So picking red is very probable.
✔ Likely
4. What is the probability to have a blue gumball?
→ There’s only one blue gumball shown being picked, and the machine has almost all red. So getting blue is rare.
✔ Unlikely
---
5. Toss a coin five times and the result is heads.
→ A coin has two sides: heads and tails. Getting heads every single time in 5 tosses? It *can* happen… but it’s very rare.
✔ Unlikely
*(Note: Some might think “likely” because coins land on heads sometimes — but 5 times in a row? That’s not likely at all.)*
6. Playing in a puddle of water ends up wet.
→ If you play in water, you WILL get wet. That’s just how water works!
✔ That is
certain

Final Answer:
- Find a pizza →
That is certain
- Find a bewitched prince →
That is impossible
- Probability of red gumball →
Likely
- Probability of blue gumball →
Unlikely
- Coin toss 5 times = all heads →
Unlikely
- Playing in puddle → ends up wet →
That is certain
