Question

Use this paragraph to answer the question. The scuba instructor said it was improbable that we might see a shark and not to panic if we do. The occasional nurse shark might swim near the reef, but it is not an aggressive species. What does the term improbable mean in this context? (1 point) not likely never happens always happens will happen

Answer 1

Answer:

the term improbable means not likely

Answer 2

Answer: Not likely

Explanation:

Improbable means the low possibility of occurring of an event. It means that the event might take place but the probability is very low as much as it not happening at all. In the given passage the scuba instructor mentioned that seeing a shark is improbable though not to panic if they spot one as they are not aggressive and wont pose a threat to their life. This means that the probability of spotting a shark is not likely or improbable i.e. the chances of seeing a shark is quite low though they might witness one. Hence it does not rule out the possibility rather states that the chances of occurring of an event is low but not stating it cannot happen.
