probability.

1. P(red) 2. P(orange) 3. P(blue)

4. P(not green) 5. P(green or black) 6. P(not yellow)

A dice is rolled. Find each probability.

7. P(odd) 8. P(even) 9. P(prime) 10. P(greater than 6)

Determine the probability of spinning each outcome using the spinner below.

8 1
7 2

6 3
5 4

14. P(2 or a 4) 15. P(not a 3) 16. P(less than 6)

Each spinner is spun once. Find the probability of each.

27. There are 3 literature books, 4 algebra books, and 2 biology books on a shelf.
If a book is randomly selected, what is the probability of selecting a literature
book or an algebra book?

28. A die is rolled. What is the probability of rolling a 5 or a number greater than
3?

29. A card is drawn from a standard deck of cards. What is the probability of drawing an
ace or a face card? (Hint: A face card is a jack, queen, or king).

30. Each of the numbers from 1 to 30 is written on a card and placed in a bag. If one card is
drawn at random, what is the probability that the number is a multiple of 2 or a multiple of
3?
