Let F be the event that x + y is even.

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

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

Explanation

Let F be the event that x + y is even.

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

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

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

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 / 2

3 / 4

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

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

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.

3 / 16

5 / 16

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

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

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

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

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

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

Explanation

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

8) 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

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

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

3 / 10

3 / 16

3 / 20

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

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

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

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

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

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)?

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

Explanation

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

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?

Let F be the event that the player score more than 5 points.
