    This document contains a quiz with 6 situations involving probability calculations for drawing cards and rolling dice. The student solved each situation by identifying the total possible outcomes, favorable outcomes, and calculating the probability as the ratio of favorable to total outcomes. The probabilities calculated included chances of sums equal to 1 or 4 when rolling dice, selecting even, divisible by 3, prime or divisible by 6 numbers from 18 tickets, drawing an ace or figure from 32 cards, selecting a black balloon from 62 balloons, cards from different suits when drawing 3 from a deck, and both cards being diamonds or kings when drawing 2 from a deck.

    QUIZ #2

    Read each situation carefully. Solve the following problems, show your solutions
    and encircle/box your final answer/s. Use your Calculators.

    Situation 1:

    Two dice are rolled, find the probability that the sum is
    1.) equal to 1
    2.) equal to 4
    3.) less than 13

    Solution:
    Total possible outcome = 62 = 36
    1.) equal to 1
    0
     Probability = =0
    36

    2.) equal to 4

     Favorable Outcome (sum equal to 4) = 3


    = {(1, 3), (2, 2), (3, 1)}
    3 1
     Probability = 36 = 12

    3.) less than 13


    (1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6)
    (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6)
    (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6)
    (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5) (4, 6)
    (5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6)
    (6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)
     There are 36 combinations that are all less than 13 therefore
    3
     P (sum < 13) = 36 = 1 = 100%
    Situation 2:

    There are 18 tickets marked with numbers 1 to 18. What‘s the probability of selecting a
    ticket having the following property:

    1.) even number


    2.) number divisible by 3

    3.) prime number (Hint: A prime number is a whole number greater than 1 whose
    only factors are 1 and itself.)
    4.) number divisible by 6

    Solution:
    1.) even number

     Favorable Outcome {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18}


    9 1
     Probability = = = 50% or 0.5
    18 2

    2.) number divisible by 3

     Favorable Outcome {3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 }


    6 1
     Probability = = = 33% or 0.33
    18 3

    3.) prime number (Hint: A prime number is a whole number greater than 1 whose
    only factors are 1 and itself.)
     Favorable Outcome {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17}
    7 7
     Probability = = = 38.9% or 0.389
    18 18

    4.) number divisible by 6


     Favorable Outcome {6, 12, 18}
    3 1
     Probability = 18 = 6 = 16.6% or 0.166
    Situation 3:

    32 playing cards include 4 aces and 12 figures. Determine the probability of a randomly selected
    card to be an ace or a figure.

    Solution:
     Probability of two mutually exclusive events
    4
    A – selected ace = P (A) = 32
    12
    B - selected figure =P (A) = 32

     P (A ꓴ B) = P (A) + P (B)

    4 12
    P (A ꓴ B) = 32 + 32

    16 1
    P (A ꓴ B) = = = 50% or 0.5
    32 2

    The probability of selecting an ace or a figure equals 50%.

    Situation 4:
    If a bag of balloons consists of 47 white balloons, 5 yellow balloons, and 10 black balloons, what is
    the approximate likelihood (probability) that a balloon chosen randomly from the bag will be black?

    Solution:
    Total number of balloons in the bag = 47 + 5 + 10 = 62 balloons

     Number of black balloons is 10


    10 5
    So probability of black balloon is = 62 = 31 = 16% or 0.16
     Therefore the probability of getting a black balloon on the bag is 16%.
    Situation 5:
    From a pack of cards, three cards are drawn at random. Find the probability that each card is
    from different suit.

    Solution:
     1st card can be from any suit therefore:
    52
    Probability = 52 = 1 = 100%
    The remaining cards are 51

     2nd card should be from different suits, 39 cards hence:


    39 13
    Probability = = = 76.47% or 0.76
    51 17
    The remaining card are 50

     3rd card should be from the remaining 2 suits = 26 cards therefore:


    26 13
    Probability = 50 = 25 = 52% or 0.52

    Situation 6:
    Two cards are drawn from the pack of 52 cards. Find the probability that both are diamonds or
    both are kings.

    Solution:
    13 12 1
     Probability both cards are diamonds = 52 x 51 = 17 = 5.88% or 0.059

    4 3 1
     Probability both cards are kings = 52 x 51 = 221 = 0.45% or 0.0045
