CALCULATING PROBABILITY

1. Joanna has 8 blue socks, 10 green socks, 5 black socks and 7 white socks in a drawer. What is the probability that

she randomly pulls out:

a) A green sock?

P(green) =

b) A white sock?

P(white) =

c) A color other than green or white? P(not green, not white) =

d) A blue, a green, or a black sock?

P(blue, green or black) =

2. A deck of UNO cards contains the following cards: 11 blue, 11 red, 11 green, and 11 yellow. Each color is

numbered 0 - 10. Jack randomly draws one card. What is the probability that he draws:

a) A yellow card? P(yellow) =

b) A card with a number greater than 6?

P(# > 6) =

c) A blue card with a number less than 4? P(a blue < 4) =

d) A red or a green card with the number 5? P(red 5 or green 5) =

3. A set of blocks, numbered 1 - 25, are tossed in a box. Pamela randomly pulls out one block. What is the probability

that she pulls out:

a) the number 1?

P(1) =

b) a multiple of 3?

P(multiple of 3) =

c) a factor of 20? P(factor of 20) =

d) a number not more than 20

P(# not more than 20) =

4. As Bart was staring at his BUTTERFINGER, he began to contemplate the probabilities that existed. Help Bart
