1. What is the likelihood of choosing a day that falls on the weekend when randomly picking a day of the
week?
"Choosing a day that falls on the weekend" is our event, and the number of outcomes is the total
number of days in a week, seven.
Example 2: A jar contains 4 blue marbles, 5 red marbles and 11 white marbles. If a marble is drawn from
the jar at random, what is the probability that this marble is red?
"Choosing a red marble" is our event, and the number of outcomes is the total number of marbles in
the jar, 20.
f events is two (since two days out of the week are weekends), and the number of outcomes is seven.
The probability is 2 ÷ 7 = 2/7 or .285 or 28.5%.
Example 2: A jar contains 4 blue marbles, 5 red marbles and 11 white marbles. If a marble is drawn from
the jar at random, what is the probability that this marble is red?
The number of events is five (since there are five total marbles), and the number of outcomes is 20.
The probability is 5 ÷ 20 = 1/4 or .25 or 25%
:What is the probability of rolling two consecutive fives on a six-sided die? The probability of both
independent events is 1/6.
This gives us 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36 or .027 or 2.7%.
Example 2: Two cards are drawn randomly from a deck of cards. What is the likelihood that both cards
are clubs?

2. The probability of the first event happening is 13/52. The probability of the second event happening is
12/51. The probability is 13/52 x 12/51 = 12/204 or 1/17 or 5.8%.
Example 3: A jar contains 4 blue marbles, 5 red marbles and 11 white marbles. If three marbles are
drawn from the jar at random, what is the probability that the first marble is red, the second marble is
blue, and the third is white?
The probability of the first event is 5/20. The probability of the second event is 4/19. And the
probability of the third event is 11/18. The probability is 5/20 x 4/19 x 11/18 = 44/1368 or 3.2%.
the chances of rolling a "4" with a die
Number of ways it can happen: 1 (there is only 1 face with a "4" on it)
Total number of outcomes: 6 (there are 6 faces altogether)
So the probability = 1
6
there are 5 marbles in a bag: 4 are blue, and 1 is red. What is the probability that a blue marble gets
picked?
Number of ways it can happen: 4 (there are 4 blues)
Total number of outcomes: 5 (there are 5 marbles in total)
So the probability = 4 = 0.8
5

3. 1. A die is thrown once. What is the probability that the score is a factor of 6?
[image]
The factors of six are 1, 2, 3 and 6, so the Number of ways it can happen = 4
There are six possible scores when a die is thrown, so the Total number of outcomes = 6
So the probability that the score is a factor of six = 4/6 = 2/3
2.
The diagram shows a spinner made up of a piece of card in the shape of a regular pentagon, with a
toothpick pushed through its center. The five triangles are numbered from 1 to 5.
The spinner is spun until it lands on one of the five edges of the pentagon. What is the probability that
the number it lands on is odd?
[image]
There are three odd numbers (1, 3 and 5), so the Number of ways it can happen = 3.
There are five numbers altogether, so the Total number of outcomes = 5.

4. So the probability the number is odd = 3/5
3.Each of the letters of the word MISSISSIPPI are written on separate pieces of paper that are then
folded, put in a hat, and mixed thoroughly.
One piece of paper is chosen (without looking) from the hat. What is the probability it is an I?
[image]
There are 4 I's in the word MISSISSIPPI, so the Number of ways it can happen = 4
There are 11 letters altogether in the word MISSISSIPPI, so the Total number of outcomes = 11
So the probability the letter chosen is an I = 4/11
4.
A card is chosen at random from a deck of 52 playing cards.
There are 4 Queens and 4 Kings in a deck of playing cards.
What is the probability it is a Queen or a King?
There are 4 Queens and 4 Kings, so the Number of ways it can happen = 8
There are 52 cards altogether, so the Total number of outcomes = 52

5. 5. A fair coin is tossed three times. What is the probability of obtaining one Head and two Tails?
(A fair coin is one that is not loaded, so there is an equal chance of it landing Heads up or Tails up.)
Represent 'Heads up' by H and 'Tails up' by T.
There are 8 possible ways the coins can land: (H, H, H), (H, H, T), (H, T, H), (H, T, T),
(T, H, H), (T, H, T), (T, T, H) and (T, T, T)
Of these, 3 have one Head and two Tails: (H, T, T), (T, H, T) and (T, T, H)
So:
The Number of ways it can happen = 3
The Total number of outcomes = 8
6. A committee of three is chosen from five councilors - Adams, Burke, Cobb, Dilby and Evans.
What is the probability Burke is on the committee?
Abbreviate the names of the five councilors with the letters A, B, C, D and E.
There are 10 possible committees: (A, B, C), (A, B, D), (A, B, E), (A, C, D), (A, C, E), (A, D, E), (B, C, D), (B, C,
E), (B, D, E) and (C, D, E)
Of these, Burke is included in 6: (A, B, C), (A, B, D), (A, B, E), (B, C, D), (B, C, E) and (B, D, E)
So:
The Number of ways it can happen = 6
The Total number of outcomes = 10

6. 7.
The die has 8 equal faces marked with the numbers 1 to 8.
If the die is thrown once, what is the probability that the face that lands uppermost has a prime
number?
The numbers 2, 3, 5 and 7 are prime, so:
The Number of ways it can happen = 4
The Total number of outcomes = 8
.

7. Drew dropped the thumbtack 100 times and found that it landed point up 38 times.
Drew concluded that the probability the thumbtack lands points up is about:
The thumbtack landed point up 38 times out of 100.
Therefore, the relative frequency of landing point up is 38/100 = 0.38
0.38 is nearest to 0.4, so this is the best estimate for the probability the thumbtack lands point up.
9. There are 10 counters in a bag: 3 are red, 2 are blue and 5 are green.
The contents of the bag are shaken before Maxine randomly chooses one counter from the bag.
What is the probability that she doesn't pick a red counter?
There are 7 counters that are not red: 2 blue and 5 green
The Number of ways it can happen = 7
The Total number of outcomes = 10
10. A special die is made in the shape of an icosahedron, and its faces are numbered with the numbers 1
to 20.

8. When the die is thrown there is an equal chance of any face landing uppermost.
If the die is thrown once, what is the probability that the face that lands uppermost has a number that is
a factor of 20?
The factors of 20 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10 and 20, so:
The Number of ways it can happen = 6
The Total number of outcomes = 20

All Of Me - John Legend - chords and lyrics
This song appeared twice in the same week on my feed, so I thought I'd add it to this Songbook. Nice
easy chords you can play, with or without a Capo - though a Capo sounds better. It's a longer playing
song than most, but enjoy...
