  • 2. 

    X = {3, 4, 5, 6} and Y = {7, 8, 9, 10}. An element x is selected randomly from X and an element y is selected from Y. The value of x + y is then recorded.What is the probability that x + y is odd?

    • 1 / 8

    • 1 / 6

    • 1 / 4

    • 1 / 2

    Correct Answer
    A. 1 / 2
    Explanation
    Let E be the event that x + y is odd.

    Using the possibility diagram, we can easily see that n(S) = 16 and n(E) = 8.

    Therefore, P(E) = 8 / 16 = 1 / 2

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    X = {3, 4, 5, 6} and Y = {7, 8, 9, 10}. An element x is selected randomly from X and an element y is selected from Y. The value of xy is then recorded.What is the probability that xy is less than or equal to 30?

    • 3 / 8

    • 5 / 8

    • 3 / 16

    • 5 / 16

    Correct Answer
    A. 5 / 16
    Explanation
    Let H be the event that xy is less than or equal to 30 .

    Using the possibility diagram, we can easily see that n(S) = 16 and n(I) = 5.

    Therefore, P(I) = 5 / 16 = 5 / 16

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    In a game, the player throws a coin and a regular die simultaneously. If the coin shows a head, the player's score is the score on the die. If the coin shows a tail, then the player's score is twice the score on the die. What is the probability that the score is even?

    • 1 / 4

    • 1 / 2

    • 3 / 4

    • 1

    Correct Answer
    A. 3 / 4
    Explanation
    Let E be the score is even.

    Using the possibility diagram, we can easily see that n(S) = 12 and n(E) = 9.

    Therefore, P(E) = 9 / 12 = 3 / 4

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    X = {3, 4, 5, 6} and Y = {7, 8, 9, 10}. An element x is selected randomly from X and an element y is selected from Y. The value of xy is then recorded.What is the probability that xy is a multiple of 3?

    • 3 / 8

    • 5 / 8

    • 3 / 16

    • 5 / 16

    Correct Answer
    A. 5 / 8
    Explanation
    Let H be the event that xy is a multiple of 3.

    Using the possibility diagram, we can easily see that n(S) = 16 and n(H) = 10.

    Therefore, P(H) = 10 / 16 = 5 / 8

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    A coin is flipped 4 times. What is the probability of getting more than 2 heads?

    • 3 / 8

    • 5 / 8

    • 3 / 16

    • 5 / 16

    Correct Answer
    A. 5 / 16
    Explanation
    Let F be the event of getting more than 2 heads.

    Using a tree diagram, we can see that n(F) = 5.

    Therefore, P(F) = 5 / 16

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    A coin is flipped 4 times. What is the probability of getting all 4 coins land on the same side?

    • 1 / 16

    • 1 / 8

    • 1 / 4

    • 1 / 2

    Correct Answer
    A. 1 / 8
    Explanation
    Let G be the event of all 4 coins land on the same side.

    Using a tree diagram, we can see that n(G) = 2.
    Note: 2 possible outcomes - All heads and all tails.

    Therefore, P(G) = 2 / 16 = 1 / 8

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    A coin is flipped 4 times. What is the value of n(S)?

    • 4

    • 8

    • 12

    • 16

    Correct Answer
    A. 16
    Explanation
    Using a tree diagram, we can see that n(S) = 16.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    In a game, a player will have to throw a tetrahedral die and a coin at the same time. If he get a tail on the coin, the game will stop and he will receive the point based on the side facing down on the tetrahedral die. If he get a head on the coin, he will then throw the die again and he will receive the point based on the product of the 2 throws on the die. What are the number of different possible score a player can get?

    • 4

    • 8

    • 9

    • 16

    Correct Answer
    A. 9
    Explanation
    From the tree diagram, we can see that the possible scores that the player can score = {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16}

    Therefore, number of possible scores = 9.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    In a game, a player will have to throw a tetrahedral die and a coin at the same time. If he get a tail on the coin, the game will stop and he will receive the point based on the side facing down on the tetrahedral die. If he get a head on the coin, he will then throw the die again and he will receive the point based on the product of the 2 throws on the die. What is the probability of getting a score greater than 7?

    • 3 / 8

    • 3 / 10

    • 3 / 16

    • 3 / 20

    Correct Answer
    A. 3 / 10
    Explanation
    Let E be the event of getting a score greater than 7.

    From the tree diagram, we can see that n(S) = 20 and n(E) = 6.

    Therefore, P(E) = 6 / 20 = 3 / 10

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    In a game, the player throws a coin and a regular die simultaneously. If the coin shows a head, the player's score is the score on the die. If the coin shows a tail, then the player's score is twice the score on the die. What is the probability that the score is less than 6?

    • 5 / 6

    • 5 / 12

    • 7 / 12

    • 3 / 4

    Correct Answer
    A. 5 / 12
    Explanation
    Let F be the score is even.

    Using the possibility diagram, we can easily see that n(S) = 12 and n(F) = 5.

    Therefore, P(F) = 5 / 12

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    In a game, a player will have to throw a tetrahedral die and a coin at the same time. If he get a tail on the coin, the game will stop and he will receive the point based on the side facing down on the tetrahedral die. If he get a head on the coin, he will then throw the die again and he will receive the point based on the product of the 2 throws on the die. What is the value of n(S)?

    • 8

    • 9

    • 16

    • 20

    Correct Answer
    A. 20
    Explanation
    From the tree diagram, we can see that n(S) = 20.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    In a game, a player will have to throw a tetrahedral die and a coin at the same time. If he get a tail on the coin, the game will stop and he will receive the point based on the side facing down on the tetrahedral die. If he get a head on the coin, he will then throw the die again and he will receive the point based on the product of the 2 throws on the die. If the player can only wins if he/she get above a certain value. What is the value if the game only allows 2 / 5 of the players to win?

    • 4

    • 5

    • 6

    • 7

    Correct Answer
    A. 5
    Explanation
    Let F be the event that the player score more than 5 points.

    From the tree diagram, we can see that n(S) = 20 and n(F)= 8.

    Therefore, P(F) = 8 / 20 = 4 / 5
