(HAND CARD Q)
Each of the next set of questions will ask you for your best guess at the chance that something will happen in the future. You can think of the PERCENT CHANCE that some event will occur as the number of CHANCES OUT OF 100 that the event will take place.
If you think that something is impossible, you would give it a 0 percent chance; if you think it is certain to happen, give it a 100 percent chance. For things that are possible but unlikely, or likely but not certain, assign them numbers in between 0 and 100.
Just to make sure you're comfortable with this scale, I'd like you to do a practice question, and I'd like you to explain your answer to me and to make an "X" on this scale that corresponds to your answers.
