Sommaire

This probability simulation quiz for AP Statistics covers probability rules and simulation (Common Core AP STAT 4.1, AP STAT 4.2, AP STAT 4.3, AP STAT 4.4, HSS-CP.A.1, HSS-CP.B.7), with a free PDF to print.

Ten multiple-choice questions check the language of probability and the basic rules. Read each explanation to see which misconception makes a wrong choice look right.

Probability simulation quiz: 10 questions

Question 1

Venn diagram of 50 outcomes.

What is P(A or B)?

Question 2

Sample space for two dice: 36 equally likely outcomes.

What is P(sum = 4) for two fair dice?

Question 3

Simulation.

Why are many trials used in a simulation?

Question 4

If P(A) = 0.3, then P(not A) is:

Question 5

Two events are mutually exclusive. P(A) = 0.2 and P(B) = 0.5. P(A or B) =

Question 6

A fair coin has landed heads 5 times. The probability of heads on the next flip is:

Question 7

A probability can never be:

Question 8

P(A) = 0.4, P(B) = 0.5, P(A and B) = 0.2. P(A or B) =

Question 9

In a bag with 4 red and 6 blue marbles, one is picked. P(blue) =

Question 10

A probability of 0 means the event:

Remember

Probability = long-run relative frequency; always between 0 and 1.
Law of large numbers: more trials bring the relative frequency closer to the probability.
Complement rule: P(A not happening) = 1 – P(A).
General addition rule: P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A and B); subtract nothing if A and B are mutually exclusive.
Simulation: assign digits, simulate trials, repeat many times, then estimate.
