Most days in the year are weekdays (as opposed to weekends). There will come a day when a huge asteroid strikes the earth. Thus, the day a huge asteroid strikes the earth will likely be a weekday. – The previous argument is Group of answer choices

True.

The day a huge asteroid strikes the earth will likely be a weekday.

Explanation:

Mathematically, there are 5 weekdays in the week and there are only 2 weekend days.

Total number of days in a week = 7

Since, the asteroids can hit on any day,

The probability of the asteroid hitting on a weekend day = (2/7) = 0.2857

The probability that an asteroid hitting on a weekday = (5/7) = 0.7143.

So, by the virtue of the probability of the asteroid hitting on a weekday or on a weekend day, the asteroid is more likely to hit on a weekday as

P(weekday) > P(weekend)

0.7143 > 0.2857.

Hope this Helps!!!
