Sample Questions

1multiple choice
3 marks

A bag contains 2 red balls, 5 black balls and 8 green balls. One ball is drawn at random. Find the probability that the ball is neither red nor black.

Show answer

8/15

Neither red nor black means the ball must be green. There are 8 green balls out of 15 total balls. So the probability is 8/15.

2multiple choice

A die is thrown once. Let E be getting a number less than 7 and F be getting a number greater than 7. Find P(E union F).

Show answer

1

On a die, every outcome is less than 7. So E is the whole sample space and P(E) = 1. Event F is impossible. Therefore E union F is still the whole sample space, so P(E union F) = 1.

3multiple choice

A die is thrown once. Let E be the event of getting an even number and F be the event of getting 6. Find P(E intersection F).

Show answer

1/6

E = {2,4,6} and F = {6}. So E intersection F = {6}. There is 1 favourable outcome out of 6 total outcomes. Hence P(E intersection F) = 1/6.

A die is thrown once. Let E be the event of getting an even number and F be the event of getting an odd number. Which statement is correct?

Show answer

E and F are mutually exclusive and exhaustive

E = {2,4,6} and F = {1,3,5}. They have no common outcome, so they are mutually exclusive. Their union is {1,2,3,4,5,6}, which is the sample space, so they are exhaustive too.
