1. Suppose a grizzly bear goes into hibernation for the winter and sleeps for a month
or two. It has no way of knowing what day or day of the week it’s body will
suddenly decide to wake up on. What is the probability that it wakes up on a

2. What is the probability of rolling a 3 or a 5 on a six-sided number cube?

3. My friend John was born in January, which has 31 days. What is the probability
that his birth day has a 2 somewhere in it (or even two twos!).

4. What is the chance that a six-sided number cube lands on an odd number?

5. What is the probability of rolling two number cubes at once and getting two 4s?

6. I have both my hands behind my back, and each one has a different number of
fingers showing (0,1,2,3,4, or 5). If I ask you to guess a number, what is the
probability that you will guess correctly for one of my hands?

7. What is the probability of flipping two heads in a row on a fair coin?

8. Draw a box and whiskers plot of the following data for the high temperature in
Memphis for 13 days in July:
83, 99, 79, 87, 91, 92, 85, 93, 84, 88, 85, 34, 93

9. 35 people were asked what brand of shoe they were wearing. The results are
below. Make a probability table from the following frequency table.
Adidas 10
New Balance 4
Nike 6
Reebok 3
Other 12
Total 35

10. What is the probability that a person from this group is not wearing Reebok?
11. Consider the temperatures given earlier for the month of July:
83, 99, 79, 87, 91, 92, 85, 93, 84, 88, 85, 34, 102

a. If this coming year on July 5 the temperature is 88 degrees, what

percentile is that for July temperatures?

b. If this coming year on July 18 the temperature is 65 degrees, what

percentile is that for July temperatures?

c. If this coming year on July 25 the temperature is 95 degrees, what

percentile is that for July temperatures?

d. If this coming year on July 29 the temperature is 105 degrees, what

percentile is that for July temperatures?
