1. The problem states the probabilities of Rosa winning two different prizes: a T-shirt with probability $0.89$ and a $20 gift certificate with probability $0.05$. 2. We want to understand which statement correctly describes the chances of Rosa winning a T-shirt or a $20 gift certificate. 3. The probability of winning a T-shirt is very high ($0.89$), meaning it is quite likely. 4. The probability of winning a $20 gift certificate is very low ($0.05$), meaning it is quite unlikely. 5. The statements are: - A: Rosa wins both prizes (probability would be $0.89 \times 0.05 = 0.0445$, which is low). - B: Rosa wins either prize (probability is high since $0.89$ is high). - C: Rosa unlikely wins a T-shirt but likely wins a gift certificate (incorrect since T-shirt chance is high). - D: Rosa unlikely wins a gift certificate but likely wins a T-shirt (matches the probabilities). 6. Therefore, the correct description is statement D. Final answer: D. It is very unlikely that Rosa wins a gift certificate, but quite likely that she wins a T-shirt.
