1 A spinner has sectors in four colours, red, blue, green and yellow.

P(red) = 0.15 P(blue) = 0.21


Green and yellow are equally likely.
Work out the probability of landing on

a green [1]

b neither blue nor yellow. [1]

2 There are 16 lettered balls in a bag. Five balls have letter M, two balls have letter A, three
balls have letter T and the rest of the balls have letter H.
A ball is taken at random. Find the probability that the ball has the letter

a M or A [1]

b H [1]

4 There are four balls in a bag. The balls are numbered 1, 2, 3 and 4. A ball is taken out of the
bag at random. Here are three events:
