Question 1:
Pking = 4 / 52 = 1/13
Note: We have 4 kings in a deck (diamond, spade, clover or heart) out pf 52 cards standard deck
(Jokers are not included)
Question 2:
a) Pgreen = number of green marbles / total marbles = 6/(5+6+4) = 2/5
b) Pnot blue = (5 red + 6 green) / total = 11/(5+6+4) = 11/15
or using Complement Rule,
Pnot blue 1 - Pblue = 1- 4blue/15 total = 1 - 4/15 = 11/15
Question 3:
We have three odd numbers. (1, 3 or 5) out of 6 possible outcomes of a die.
Podd = 3/6 = 1/2
Question 4:
Pjack or queen = Pjack + Pqueen
Pjack or queen = 4/52 + 4/52 = 8/52 = 2/13
Note: We have 4 kings and 4 queens in a deck (diamond, spade, clover or heart). Also, 'or' uses
an addition (+) operation.
Question 5:
From 1-7, we have 4 odd numbers ('1', '3', '5' or '7')
Podd = 4/7
Question 6:
P7 = 0
There is no '7' in a single die numbered 1 to 6, thus, it is impossible.
Question 7:
The word PROBABILITY has 11 letters, in which we have 2 I's.
Pletter i = 2/11
Question 8:
P3 corrects = (P1. correct) (P2, correct) (P3, correct) = (0.25)(0.25)(0.25) = 1/64 = 0.016
Note: In each multiple-choice question, with 4 choices, we only have one correct answer. Thus,
Pcorrect = 1/4 = 0.25.
Question 9:
There are seven (7) perfect squares between 1 - 50 (including). 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49
Pperfect square = 7/50 = 0.14
Question 10:
Pdiamond or six = Pdiamond + Psix - Pdiamond and six
Pdiamond or six = 13/52 + 4/52 - 1/52 = 16/52 = 4/13
Note: 'diamond' and 'six' has common outcome. We have one (1) card in the deck that is both
diamond and a six at the same time.
Note: We have 13 diamond card int he deck and 4 six card.
Question 11:
Brown Eye Not Brown Eye Total
Adult 31 63 - 31 = 32 63
Children 29 37 - 29 = 8 37
Total 60 40 100
Out of 60 brown-eyed people, 29 of them were children. Thus, P = 29/60 = 0.483
Question 12:
P listen and dance music = 0.70(0.20) = 7/50 = 0.14
Note: 'and' means multiply.
Question 13:
P = (P1, tail) (P2, head) (P3, tail) = (0.5) (0.5) (0.5) = 1/8 = 0.125
Note: In a coin, we only have two outcomes (head or tail). Thus, in every toss, regardless of the
result, probability is always 1/2 = 0.50.
Question 14:
From our tree diagram above, notice that we have 12 possible outcomes. (2 outcomes for coin x
6 outcomes for dice =12).
Out of this, count the number of outcomes that has odd number on the die (1,3,5) and Head(H).
We have three outcomes, that is 1H, 3H and 5H.
P = 3/12 = 1/4 = 0.25
Question 15:
a) P red seven = 2/52
We have two red seven, 7Heart and 7 diamond.
b) We have total possible outcome of 62 =36, when we roll two dice each with 6 outcomes.
Out of these, we have three (3) results with both even: (2,2), (4,4) and (6,6).
Pboth even = 3/36 = 1/12
c) Sum of 12 could be (6,6), (7,5) and (8,4). We have three out of 82 = 64 possible combinations
of two spins.
Psum 12 = 3/64
Question 16:
Take Adv Functions and Calculus,
60 = a + 10
a = 50
Take Calculus and Data Management,
35 = c + 10
c = 25
Take Data management and Adv Functions,
13 = b + 10
b =3
For Advanced Functions (green circle),
Total = a + b + 10 + X
68 = 50 + 3 + 10 + X
X =5
For Data Management (maroon circle),
Total = b + c + 10 + Z
78 = 3 + 25 + 10 + Z
Z = 40
Therefore, total Calculus is,
Y = 200 - (a + b + c + X + Z + 10) = 67
a)
b) From the diagram above, out of 78 Data management, 35 of them took Calculus also.
P = 35/78 =0.449
Question 17:
Pwatch and more than one hour = 0.60(0.70) = 0.42
Note: 'and' means multiply.
Question 18:
Here, we have three possible scenarios in which of the three days, there will be a two-day rain.
P = (P1st day, rain) (P2nd day, rain) (P3rd day, not rain) + (P1, rain) (P2, not rain) (P3, rain) + (P1, not rain) (P2, rain) (P3, rain)
P = (0.7) (0.55) (1 - 0.4) + (0.7) (1 - 0.55) (0.4) + (1 - 0.7) (0.55) (0.4)
P = 0.423
Just comment down any clarifications. Hope thsi help and guide you :)
