**Probability Question:**Scarlett is making a card. She has a drawer with 3 red, 2 pink, 5 green, 1 white, and 4 purple pieces of paper. How likely is it that Scarlett will randomly select a pink piece of paper?- **A** unlikely- **B** as likely to happen as not- **C** likely- **D** certain**Explanation:**To determine the likelihood that Scarlett will select a pink piece of paper, we need to calculate the probability.1. **Count the total number of pieces of paper:** \( 3 \text{ (red)} + 2 \text{ (pink)} + 5 \text{ (green)} + 1 \text{ (white)} + 4 \text{ (purple)} = 15 \text{ pieces} \)2. **Count the number of pink pieces:** \( 2 \text{ pieces} \)3. **Calculate the probability of picking a pink piece:** \[ \text{Probability (P)} = \frac{\text{Number of pink pieces}}{\text{Total number of pieces}} = \frac{2}{15} \]Since the fraction \( \frac{2}{15} \) represents a relatively small probability, the correct answer is:- **A) unlikely**
