EASY LEVEL

1. A coin is flipped once. What is the probability of getting:


Solution: A coin has two sides: Heads (H) and Tails (T).
a) Heads? P(H) = ½ = 0.5 = 50%
b) Tails? P(T) = ½ = 0.5 =50%

2. A six-sided die is rolled. Find the probability of rolling:


Solution:
Total outcomes: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} → N = 6
Number greater than 3: {4, 5,6} → n = 3
a) A 2? Probability of rolling a 2: P(2) = 1/6 = 0.1667 =16.67%
b) A number greater than 3? P(>3) = 3/6 = ½ = 0.5 = 50%

3. A bag contains 4 red balls and 6 blue balls. One ball is picked at random. What
is the probability of picking:
Solution: Total balls = 4red + 6 blue = 10
a) A red ball? P(Red) = 4/10 = 2/5 = 0.4 = 40%
b) A blue ball? P(Blue) = 6/10 = 3/5 = 0.6 =60%

4. A deck of 52 playing cards is shuffled, and one card is drawn. What is the
probability of picking:
Solution:
a) A spade? There are 13 spades, P(Spade) = 13/52 = ¼ =0.25 = 25%
b) A King? There are 4 Kings, P(King) = 4/52 = 1/13 =0.077 = 7.7%

MEDIUM LEVEL

5. A spinner has 4 equal sections labeled A, B, C, D. What is the probability that


the spinner lands on:
Solution: N = 4 (A, B, C, D)
a) A? P(A) =1/4 = 0.25 =25%
b) Not C? P(Not C) = ¾ = ¾ = 0.75 =75%

6. A six-sided die is rolled twice. Find the probability that:


Solution: N = 6 x 6 = 36
a) Both rolls show a 3. Probability of rolling (3,3): P(3,3) = 1/36 = 0.028 = 2.8%
b) The sum of the numbers is 7. Ways to get sum = 7 {(1,6), (2.5), (3,3), (4,3),
(5,2), (6,1)}, P(7) = 6/36 = 1/6 = 0.1667 = 16.67%
7. A bag contains 3 red, 4 blue, and 5 green balls. If one ball is randomly chosen,
what is the probability of:
Solution: Total balls = 3 red + 4 blue + 5 green = 12
a) Picking a red or blue ball? P(red or blue) = P(red) + P(blue) = 3/12 + 4/12 =
7/12 = 0.583 = 58.3%
b) Picking not a green ball? P(Note green) = P(red or blue) = 7/12 = 0.583 =
58.3%

HARD LEVEL

8. Two dice are rolled together. What is the probability that:


Solution: N = 36
a) The numbers add up to 10? Ways to get sum = 10 {(4,6), (5,5), (6,4)}  n = 3
P(10) = 3/36 =1/12 = 0.083 = 8.3%
b) Both dice show the same number? Ways to get double: {(1,1), (2,2), (3,3),
(4,4), (5,5), (6,6)}  n = 6 P(doubles) = 6/36 = 1/6 = 0.166 =16.6%

9. A box contains 6 red, 4 blue, and 2 yellow marbles. If two marbles are drawn
without replacement, what is the probability that:
Solution: N = 6 + 4 + 2 =12
(Since we are drawing 2 marbles without replacement, the total number of
choices decreases after each draw.)
a) Both are red? P(RR) = 6/12 X 5/11 = 30/132 = 5/22 = 0.227 =22.7%
First draw: P(red) = 6/12
second draw: P(red) = 5/12
b) One is red, and one is blue? P(RB) = (6/12 x 4/11) + (4/12 X 6/11) = 4/11 =
0.364
Case 1: First blue, then red:
P(blue first) = 4/12
P(red second) = 6/11
Case2: First red, then blue:
P(red first) = 6/12
P(blue second) = 4/11
Since either order works, we add both probability:
P(one red, one blue) = ? P(RB) = (6/12 x 4/11) + (4/12 X 6/11) = 4/11 = 0.364
10. A card is drawn from a deck of 52 cards. If it is a face card, the card is not
replaced, and a second card is drawn. What is the probability that:
Solution:
N=52
Face cards (Jack, Queen, King) → 3 per suit × 4 suits = 12 face cards
Kings → 4 Kings
Queens → 4 Queens
Since we are drawing 2 cards without replacement, the total number of
available cards decreases after the first draw.
a) Both cards are face cards? P(BB) = 12/52 x 11/51 = 132/2652 = 0.0498 =
4.98%
Frist draw (face card): P(first face card) = 12/52
Second draw (face card): P(second face card) = 11/51
Since both events must happen together, we multiply the probabilities.
b) The first card is a King, and the second card is a Queen? P(K,Q) = 4/52 x 4/51
= 16/2652 = 0.006 =0.6%
P(First King) = 4/52
P(second card is Queen) = 4/51
Since both events must happen together, we multiply the probabilities:
