ANSWER:

1. Total = 26

Probability of puppy = 6/26 = 3/13 = 0.231 or 23%

Probability of parakeet = 7/26 = 0.269 or 26%

More probability of two is parakeet.

2. These activities are not mutually exclusive because some participants are 14 years old and play
basketball. When two events are not exclusive of one another, use the rule. There are 300 players in all.

Solution:

P 14 or b = 106 (Age 14) b = 104 (Basketball)

= P(14) + P(b) – P(14 or b)

= 106/300 + 104/300 – 42/300

= 168/300
= 14/25

= (0.56 or 56%)

3. P(1) = 0.5^1*(0.4)^3 = 0.032

P(0) = 0.5^4*(0.4)^0 = 0.0625

4. The outcome/sample space of an event's probability is described. There is only one possible value for
our sample space: 20. The result you wanted has occurred: 6, 12, 18. We will subtract these because
they satisfy both requirements.

Even Numbers: 2, 4 ,6, 8 ,10, 12, 14,16,18, 20 (10 numbers)

Multiples of 3: 3, 6, 9 ,12 ,15 ,18 (6 numbers)

Pr(A or B) = Pr(A) + Pr(B) – Pr(Overlap, also known as A intersect B)

Pr(Even or Mult. Of 3) 10/20 + 6/20 - 3/20 (The overlap)

= 13/20

Hence, your chances of choosing an even number or a multiple of three are 65%.
