1. WHAT IS THE PROBABILITY OF GETTING A HEAD WHEN TOSSING A COIN?

WHEN A COIN IS TOSSED, THE MOST LIKELY RESULT IS EITHER HEADS OR TAILS,
GIVING RISE TO A TOTAL OF TWO POSSIBLE OUTCOMES, ONE OF WHICH IS HEAD

PROBABILITY OF GETTING A HEAD = NUMBER OF OUTCOMES TO GET HEAD = 1

NUMBER OF POSSIBLE OUTCOMES = 2

PROBABILITY OF GETTING A HEAD = ½ OR 50%

2. A SCHOOL HAS 820 MALE STUDENTS AND 835 FEMALE STUDENTS. IF A STUDENT
IS SELECTED AT RANDOM, WHAT IS THE PROBABILITY THAT THE STUDENT WOULD
BE A FEMALE?

P(FEMALE) =NUMBER OF POSSIBLE FEMALE STUDENT = 835 = 835 =

164 TOTAL NUMBER OF STUDENTS820 + 835 1655 331

P(FEMALE)= 0.5045317221 ROUNDED TO THE NEAREST 0.001 OR THE

THOUSANDTHS PLACE MY FINAL ANSWER IS 0.505 X 100 = 50.5%
(50.45% IF NOT ROUNDED)
3. A BOWL CONTAINS 8 NIPS®, 3 BLUE, 1 YELLOW, 1 RED, 1 GREEN, AND 2 BLACK.
IF A CHILD PICK ONE NIPS AT RANDOM, WHAT IS THE PROBABILITY THAT HE WILL
PICK BLUE?

PROBABILITY OF GETTING A BLUE COLORED NIPS =NUMBER OF

POSSIBLE BLUE NIPS= 3=3 TOTAL NUMBER OF NIPS 3+1+1+1+2 8

P (BLUE NIPS) = 3/8 = 0.375 ROUNDED TO THE NEAREST 0.01

OR THE HUNDREDTHS PLACE MY FINAL ANSWER IS 0.38 X 100
= 38% (37.5% IF NOT ROUNDED)
4. WHAT IS THE PROBABILITY OF GETTING A KING OF HEARTS FROM A COMPLETE
PACK OF CARDS?

A DECK HAS 52 CARDS IN IT.

P(E)=N(E) N(S)

❤
PROBABILITY OF GETTING A K = FAVORABLE OUTCOMES FOR
❤
DRAWING A K = 1 TOTAL NUMBER OF OUTCOMES= 52

❤
P(K )= 1/52 = 0.0192307692 ROUNDED TO THE NEAREST 0.01
OR THE HUNDREDTHS PLACE MY FINAL ANSWER IS 0.02 X 100
= 2% (1.9% IF NOT ROUNDED)
 5. WHAT IS THE PROBABILITY OF OBTAINING AN EVEN NUMBER WHEN A DIE IS
ROLLED?

ASSUMING THE DIE HAS SIX SIDES. THERE ARE 6 POSSIBLE OUTCOMES IN
THE SAMPLE SPACE, WHICH IS CALLED S = {1,2,3,4,5,6} GETTING AN EVEN
NUMBER ON THE DICE CAN HAPPEN IN THREE WAYS. LET E BE THE NAME
OF THIS EVENT: E = {2,4,6.}

PROBABILITY OF GETTING AN EVEN NUMBER = FAVORABLE OUTCOMES OF

GETTING AN EVEN NUMBER= 3
TOTAL NUMBER OF OUTCOMES 6

P(E)= 3*1/6= 1/2. PROBABILITY OF GETTING AN EVEN NUMBER = ½ OR 50%.
