of getting a role in the play is 80% and a 25% chance of landing the lead
role.
● Are the odds looking good in favor of her getting a role in the

Application: Pick any two of the following five questions to answer. Show your
work completely with a therefore statements as a conclusion ( e.g state
assumptions,write formulas, work out solutions) . Marks are allocated to each
question accordingly ( Max marks earned is 10)

1) The Probaility of event A happening is P(A)=0.5. The probability of event B


happening is P(B)=0.4. Considering these are both mutually exclusive events
what is the probability of event A or event B occurring? ( 3 marks)

2) The Probaility of event A happening is P(A)=0.5. The probability of event


B happening as a result of Event A is P(B)=0.23. What is the probability of
event A and event B occurring? ( 4 marks)

3) Dario owns 145 baseball cards, 102 football cards, and 48 basketball cards.
He selects a card at random and gives it to his brother. What is the
probability that he selects a baseball or football card? ( 4 marks)

4) A drawer contains 3 black socks, 1 white sock, and 2 grey socks, all of the
same style. Two socks are chosen from the drawer at random: ( 4 marks)
a) What is the theoretical probability that two randomly chosen socks
will be the same colour?
b) What are the odds in favour of two randomly chosen socks being the
same colour?

5) A fair coin is tossed n times. Determine an algebraic formula that will


give the theoretical probability that all the tosses will result in tails.
Using the formula calculate the theoretical probability of:
a) 10 times in a row
b) atleast 1 heads after 10 tosses. (6 marks)

work completely with a therefore statement as a conclusion ( e.g state assumptions
when necessary,write formulas, work out solutions) . Marks are allocated to each
question accordingly ( Max marks earned is 5)

1) Find the probability of P(Aor B) given (max 3 marks)


P(B) = ⅖
P(A) = ½
P(A and B) = ⅕
Are A and B mutually exclusive?

2) The probability that Lina waters her plant is ⅔. If she waters the plant the
probability that it will grow is ⅘. If she does not water the plant the probability that
it will grow is ⅓ . Calculate the probability that the plant grows ( hint. Use a tree
diagram to organize your data) ( max 4 marks)

playoff series. The first team to win four games wins the series. Ties are broken
