1. How many possible outcomes are there in tossing
three coins once? To find the total number of possible outcomes when tossing
three coins once, you can use the concept of permutations.
A. 3 possible outcomes Each coin toss has 2 possible outcomes: either heads or tails.
Since there are 3 coins being tossed, the total number of
Numbers more than 3: These are 4, 5, and 6. So, there are 3 outcomes.
A. 5/6 Prime numbers: These are 2, 3, and 5. So, there are 3 outcomes.
However, we need to be careful not to double-count the number 5, which is both more than 3 and a
B. 2/3 prime number.
C. 1/4 So, the total number of outcomes that meet either condition is 5.
D. 1/6 Now, the total number of possible outcomes when rolling a fair die is 6.
Therefore, the probability of getting a number more than 3 or a prime number is the number of
outcomes that meet the condition divided by the total number of possible outcomes is 5/6.
A. 1/4 Out of these, the outcomes with sums 5, 6, and 7 are as follows:
D. 1/2 So, the probability of getting a sum greater than 4 and less than 8 is:
15/36 = 5/12
B. {1, 2} universal set, and set B contains the odd numbers from the universal
set.
C. {1, 2 , 3 ,4 , …, 20} The intersection of sets A and B, denoted by A∩B, would contain
elements that are both even and odd. However, there are no numbers
D. {2, 4, 6, 8, ..., 18, 20} that are both even and odd; they are mutually exclusive properties.
So, the intersection of sets A and B is a null set.
A. 4/13 following:
Number of 4s in the deck: There are four 4s in the deck, one for each suit (hearts, diamonds, clubs, and
B. 1/2 spades).
Number of hearts in the deck: There are 13 hearts in the deck (one for each value from Ace to King).
C. 3/4 However, we need to be careful not to double-count the 4 of hearts. So, we subtract 1 from the total count.
D. 12/13 So, the total number of cards that are either a 4 or a heart is 4+13−1=16.
Now, the total number of cards in the deck is 52.
So, the total number of cards that are either a 2 or a face card is
D. 3/13 4+12=16.
16/52 = 4/13
So, the correct answer is: C. 4/13
11. A bag contains 5 red marbles, 4 blue marbles and 6
yellow marbles. Jim draws one marble at random from
the bag. What is the probability that the drawn marble
is either red or blue?
To find the probability that the drawn marble is either red or blue, we need to calculate the total
number of red and blue marbles and then divide by the total number of marbles in the bag.
B. 1/10 Total number of outcomes when the spinner is spun twice: There are 10 sectors on the spinner, and each spin is
independent, so there are 10×10=100 possible outcomes.
C. 1/5 Number of favorable outcomes: Out of the 10 letters (A, E, I, O, U), there are 5 vowels. So, the probability of
spinning a vowel on each spin is 5/10 = 1/2
D. 1/4
Since each spin is independent, to find the probability of both spins landing on a vowel, we multiply the
probabilities of each spin landing on a vowel:
Therefore, the correct answer is not listed among the given choices. The correct probability should be: D. 1/4
13. Two cards are drawn from a deck of 52 cards. What
is the probability of drawing an ace first followed by a
Jack if the first card is not replaced?
D. 4/665 After drawing an ace, there are 4 Jacks left in the deck (since one Jack
has been drawn already).
A. 1/11
B. 1/12 Probability of getting a head in tossing a coin: ½
A. 1/16
B. 1/32 Probability of getting heads on one toss of a fair coin: Since there are
two equally likely outcomes (heads or tails) when tossing a fair coin, the
C. 1/64 probability of getting heads on one toss is 1/2 .
