Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Construct a 2x2 table to represent the sample space for flipping a coin twice. Fill in the cells with the possible outcomes.
[3 marks]
2.
If the probability of rain is 0.3 and the probability of sun is 0.7, and assuming independence, complete a table showing the joint probabilities for 'Rain' and 'Sun' with two events: 'Rain' and 'No Rain'.
[4 marks]
3.
A survey shows 60% like tea, 50% like coffee, and 30% like both. Fill in the table to represent the data, and find the probability that a person likes either tea or coffee.
[4 marks]
4.
Identify and correct the mistake in the following table representing two events: | Event A | Event B | Probability | |---------|---------|--------------| | Yes | Yes | 0.2 | | Yes | No | 0.3 | | No | Yes | 0.4 | | No | No | 0.2 |
[3 marks]
5.
Using the table: | | Success | Failure | |------|---------|---------| | Group 1 | 12 | 8 | | Group 2 | 15 | 5 | Calculate the probability that a randomly selected individual from Group 1 experienced success.
[2 marks]
6.
In a table showing outcomes for two events, the cell for Event A = Yes and Event B = No has a probability of 0.15. If the total probability for Event A = Yes is 0.4, what is the probability that Event B = Yes given Event A = Yes?
[3 marks]
7.
Construct a table to show all outcomes when rolling two six-sided dice. Fill in the number of occurrences for each sum from 2 to 12.
[3 marks]
8.
A box contains 3 red, 2 blue, and 5 green balls. Two balls are drawn at random without replacement. Complete the table showing the probability of drawing two balls of the same colour.
[4 marks]
9.
A survey finds 40% of students prefer Maths, 30% prefer Science, and 15% prefer both. Use the table to find the probability that a student prefers Maths only.
[3 marks]
10.
A factory produces two types of products, A and B, with probabilities 0.6 and 0.4 respectively. The defect rates are 2% for A and 5% for B. Construct a table to find the overall probability of a defective product.
[4 marks]
