Question 81 Mark

When two dice are rolled:
List the outcomes for the event that total is less than 5.

Answer

Possible outcomes when two dice are rolled: S = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), _____, (6, 5), (6, 6)} Therefore, the number of possible outcomes in the sample space is 36. The outcomes for the event that total is less than 5:B = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 1), (2, 2), (3, 1)}

Question 161 Mark

When two dice are rolled:
Find probability of getting an odd total.

Answer

Possible outcomes when two dice are rolled:
S = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), _____, (6, 5), (6, 6)}
Therefore, the number of possible outcomes in the sample space is 36.
The number of favourable outcomes is 18.
$\therefore\text{ P(E)}=\frac{18}{36}=\frac{1}{2}$

Question 201 Mark

When two dice are rolled:
List the outcomes for the event that the total is odd.

Answer

Possible outcomes when two dice are rolled:
S = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), _____, (6, 5), (6, 6)}
Therefore, the number of possible outcomes in the sample space is 36.
The outcomes for the event that the total is odd:
E = {(1, 2), (1, 4), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 3), (2, 5), (3, 2), (3, 4), (3, 6), (4, 1), (4, 3), (4, 5), (5, 2), (5, 4), (5, 6), (6, 1), (6, 3), (6, 5)

Question 221 Mark

A card is drawn at random from a pack of 52 cards. Find the probability that the card drawn is:
neither a red card nor a queen.

Answer

This means that we have to leave the red cards and the queens out. There are 26 red cards and 2 queens (only black queens are counted since the reds are already counted among the red cards). Hence, the probability of drawing neither a red card nor a queen is:
$=\frac{(52-26-2)}{52} =\frac{ 6}{13}$
