Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
A bag contains 3 red and 2 blue balls. Two balls are drawn at random without replacement. Complete the probability table for the possible outcomes of colour combinations and calculate the probability of drawing two red balls.
[4 marks]
2.
Construct a table showing the probabilities of selecting a student who passes or fails an exam, given that 60% pass and 40% fail. Assume the probability of passing and failing independently with two different subjects.
[3 marks]
3.
In a survey, 40% of people like tea, 30% like coffee, and 10% like both. Fill in the table for the probabilities of liking tea only, coffee only, both, and neither.
[4 marks]
4.
Calculate the joint probability of a student failing Maths but passing Science, given that 70% pass Science and 60% pass Maths, with 50% passing both.
[3 marks]
5.
A survey shows 55% of people prefer cats, 45% prefer dogs, and 20% prefer both. Complete the probability table and find the probability that a person prefers only cats.
[4 marks]
6.
A box contains 4 defective and 6 non-defective items. Two items are selected at random without replacement. Fill in the probability table for defective and non-defective outcomes, and find the probability that both are non-defective.
[4 marks]
7.
Construct a table showing the probabilities of selecting a card that is red or black from a standard deck, and then determine the probability of drawing a red card given that the card is even-numbered.
[4 marks]
8.
A model predicts that the probability of rain is 0.3 and the probability of snow is 0.2, with a 0.1 chance of both. Fill in the probability table and find the probability of neither rain nor snow.
[4 marks]
9.
A factory produces widget A and B. 70% of widgets A pass quality control, 80% of B pass, and 60% pass both. Fill in the table for outcomes and determine the probability that a widget passes neither quality control check.
[4 marks]
10.
Identify and correct the mistake in the following probability table where the total probability sums to 1.2, not 1: | Outcomes | Probability | |----------|--------------| | Both | 0.3 | | Only A | 0.4 | | Only B | 0.3 | | Neither | 0.2 |
