    Sample Spaces

    Section A

    1) Two normal unbiased coins are tossed.


    a) Draw a sample space to show all the possible outcomes.
    b) What is the probability of getting 2 heads?
    c) What about the probability of getting one head and one tail in any order?

    2) Two unbiased 6-sided dice are rolled, and the scores added together.
    a) Draw a sample space to show all the possible outcomes.
    b) Work out the following, using your table: i) P(even)
    ii) P(greater than 8)
    iii) P(2)
    iv) P(square number)
    v) P(prime number)
    vi) P(negative number)
    vii) P(factor of 12)
    viii) P(multiple of 12)

    Super Challenge Questions

    1) An unbiased 4-sided and an unbiased 6-sided dice are rolled. The score on the 6-sided
    dice is subtracted from the score on the 4-sided dice.
    a) Draw a sample space to show all possible outcomes
    b) Use it to find the following probabilities: i) P(0)
    ii) P(not 0)
    iii) P(positive)
    iv) P(negative)
    v) P(at least one ‘2’ showing on the dice)
    vi) P(prime)

    2) Two six sided dice are numbered -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3.


    a) Draw up a sample space to show the outcomes when the scores are multiplied together.
    b) Then, work out these probabilities as fractions and percentages (to 1dp): i) P(positive)
    ii) P(negative)
    iii) P(not positive or
    negative)
    iv) P(square number)

    3) Two tetrahedral dice are rolled, and the value on dice 1 is divided by the value on dice 2.
    a) Draw a sample space to show all possible answers, using fractions rather than decimals.
    b) Use it to find the following probabilities: i) P(integer)
    ii) P(mixed number)
    iii) P(between 0 and 1)
    iv) P(greater than 1.5)
