Consider the situations below and answer the questions that follow.
1. A bowl contains 15 chips numbered 1 to 15. If a chip is drawn
1. A restaurant serves a bowl of candies to their customers. The bowl of
randomly from the bowl, what is the probability that it is
candies Gabriel receives has 10 chocolate candies, 8 coffee candies,
a. 5 or number divisible by 3?
and 12 caramel candies. After Gabriel chooses a candy, he eats it.
b. even or divisible by 3? Find the probability of getting candies with the indicated flavors.
2. Dario puts in a box in which 14 are red, 2 are blue and 18 are a. P (chocolate or coffee)
yellow. If Dario picks one marble at random, what is the probability b. P (coffee or caramel)
that he selects a red marble or a yellow marble? c. P (caramel or not coffee)
3. Out of 5200 households surveyed, 2107 had a dog, 807 had a cat, d. P (chocolate or not caramel)
and 303 had both dog and cat. What is the probability that a
randomly selected household has a dog or a cat? 2. Rhian likes to wear colored shirts. She has 15 shirts in the closet. Five
Solution: of these are blue, four are in different shades of red, and the rest are
1. a.) n(S) = 15 b.) n(S) = 15 of different colors. What is the probability that she will wear a blue or
n(A) = 1 {5} n(A) = 7 {2,4,6,8,10,12,14} a red shirt?
n(B) = 5 {3,6,9,12,15} n(B) = 3 {3,6,9,12,15}
n(A and B) = 0 n(A and B) = 2 {6,12} 3. Of 240 students, 176 are on the honor roll, 48 are members of the
1+5−0 6 2 7+5−2 10 2 varsity team, and 36 are in the honor roll and are also members of the
P(A or B) = 15 = 15 = 5 P(A or B) = 15 = 15 = 3
varsity team. What is the probability that a randomly selected student
is on the honor roll or is a member of the varsity team?
2. n(S) = 34 3. n(S) = 5200
n(A) = 14 {red marble} n(A) = 2107 {dog} 4. The school head conducted a survey among grade 10 students of Luis
n(B) = 18 {yellow marble} n(B) = 807 {cat} Palad Integrated High School. The probability that the student will like
n(A and B) = 0 n(A and B) = 303 {dog and cat} Mathematics is 34%, Science is 45% and either of the subjects is
14+18−0 32 16 2107+807−303 2611
P(A or B) = = = P(A or B) = = 15%. What is the probability that the students that been interviewed
44 34 17 5200 5200
like mathematics or science?
