Practice Quiz - Probability Name______________________________ Use the theoretical probability formula to solve the problem. Express the probability as a fraction reduced to lowest terms. 1) Use the spinner below to answer the question. Assume that it is equally probable 1) that the pointer will land on any one of the five numbered spaces. If the pointer lands on a borderline, spin again. Find the probability that the arrow will land on 4 or 3. 3 2 A) B) 1 C) 4 5 D) 4 You are dealt one card from a 52-card deck. Find the probability that you are not dealt: 2) a club. 3 4 2 1 A) B) C) D) 4 13 5 4 2) Use the empirical probability formula to solve the exercise. Express the answer as a fraction. Then express the probability as a decimal, rounded to the nearest thousandth, if necessary. 3) The table below represents a random sample of the number of deaths per 100 cases for a certain 3) illness over time. If a person infected with this illness is randomly selected from all infected people, find the probability that the person lives 3-4 years after diagnosis.
