6.3 Intersection of Compound Events
Answers
1. Answers will vary, but should show 4 red and 3 green outcomes each leading to another 4 red
and 3 green secondary outcomes.
2. 7*7=49
3. 12/49
4. 16/49
5. 9/49
6. No, probability is the same in either order.

1‑6 in blue.
8. 36
9. Yes: 6*6
10. 3/36
11. 9/36

6.4 Multiplication Rule
Answers
1. Independent events are events that do not affect the outcome of each other. Flipping a coin
once does not affect the outcome of a second ꮐ�lip.
2. The multiplication rule states that the probability of multiple independent events all happening
is the product of each of the individual events.

6.8 Finding Probability by Finding the Complement
Answers
4 ′ 48 12
1. P (king) = 52 so P (king ) = 52 or 13 or 92.3%
12 ′ 40 10
2. P (f ace card) = 52 so P (f ace card ) = 52 or 13 or 76.9%
1 ′ 9
3. P (7) = 10 so P (7 ) = 10 or 90%
4. P (6) = 61 so P (6′) = 65 or 83.3%
9 ′ 21 7
5. P (yellow) = 30 so P (yellow ) = 30 or 10 or 70%
15 1
6. P (red ∪ yellow) = 30 or 2 or 50%
7 ′ 23
7. P (blue) = 30 so P (blue ) = 30 or 76.7%
8. P ($1 bill) = 73 so P ($1 bill′) = 74 or 57%
75 ′ 375 5
9. P (your songs) = 450 so P (your songs ) = 450 or 6 or 83.3%
10. 1/6 or 16.7%
19 ′ 21
11. P (late) = 47 so P (late ) = 47 = 44.7%
12. P(sick | Monday)= 60% so P (Monday) = 1 − .6 or 40%
13. P(skateboard | bike)=11%, so P (bike) = 1 − .11 or 89%
14. P(drink | food) = 58.3%, so P (f ood) = 1 − .583 = 41.7%
