Acc Math 1 Unit 4 Chance of Winning Name Date Block_____ Probability of independent events A and B: (when items are replaced) P(A and B) = P(A) P(B) Probability of dependent events A and B: (when items are not replaced) P(A and B) = P(A) P(B after A) Assume all events described in the problems below are independent. 1. Sam makes 70% of his free throws. What is the probability that: a) Sam makes 2 free throws in a row? b) Sam makes his first free throw and then misses his next free throw? c) Sam misses his first free throw and then makes his next? d) Sam misses both free throws? e) Sam makes at least one free throw? 2. If you roll a die, the probability that you land on a “one” is 1/6. If you roll the same die twice, what is the probability that: a) You land on two “ones” in a row? b) You never land on a “one”? c) You land on at least one “one”? 3. A sack contains 7 blue, 3 red, and 2 green marbles. If you draw a marble, replace it, and then draw another marble, what is the probability that: a) You draw a red marble and then a green marble? b) You draw a red marble and then another red marble? c) You draw at least one blue marble? d) You draw at least one red or blue marble? e) You never draw a blue marble? f) Which is more likely to occur and why-- to draw the marble colors RBBR or to draw the marble colors BBGRBB? An experiment consists of rolling a fair number cube and tossing a fair coin. 7. Find the probability of getting a 5 on the number cube and tails on the dime. 8. Find the probability of getting an even number on the number cube and heads on the dime. 9. Find the probability of getting a 2 or 3 on the number cube and heads on the dime. A box contains 3 red marbles, 6 blue marbles, and 1 white marble. The marbles are selected at random, one at a time, and are not replaced. Find the probability. 10. P(blue and then red) 11. P(white and blue in any order) 12. P(red and white in any order) 13. P(red and white and blue) 14. P(red and red and blue) 15. P(red and 2 blues in any order) 16. P(red and red and red) 17. P(white and 2 blues in any order) 18. P(white and red and white) 0 _2 (hint:you may want to use combinations)
