Probability Practice
Mutually Exclusive, Not Mutually Exclusive, Independent, Dependent, Experimental & Theoretically Probability

1. 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?

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

3. 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).

4. 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?

5-8: Determine whether the events are independent or dependent. Then calculate the probability if asked.
5. Selecting a marble and then choosing a second 6. Rolling a number cube and spinning a spinner.
marble without replacing the first marble

7. Find the probability of tossing two number cubes 8. A box contains a nickel, a penny, and a dime. Find
and getting a 3 on the first roll and 5 on the second the probability of choosing first a dime, and then,
roll. without replacing the dime, choosing a penny.

9. You spin a spinner that has 15 equal-sized sections 10. Hank usually makes 11 out of every 20 of his free
numbered 1 to 15. Find the theoretical probability of throws. What is the probability that he will miss his next
landing on the given section(s) of the spinner. free throw?

a) P(odd number) b) P(even number)

c) P(not 5) d) P(greater than 8)
