Compound events quiz: 10 questions

Question 1

How many outcomes are in the sample space for tossing a coin 3 times?

Question 2

Two dice are rolled. How many outcomes are there?

Question 3

A coin is tossed twice. What is P(exactly one head)?

Question 4

A lunch has 3 sandwiches and 4 drinks. How many different lunches are possible?

Question 5

Two dice are rolled. What is P(sum is 2)?

Question 6

A bag has 1 red and 3 blue marbles. One is drawn and replaced, then another is drawn. P(both blue) is:

Question 7

In a simulation of a 40% event, which digits could mean success?

Question 8

A spinner (1, 2, 3, 4) and a coin are used. How many outcomes have an odd number and tails?

Question 9

P(at least one head) in three tosses of a fair coin is:

Question 10

A simulation of 20 trials has 6 successes. What is the estimated probability?

Remember

A compound event has two or more stages, such as two coin tosses.
The sample space lists every possible outcome.
Counting principle: \(m \times n\) outcomes for two stages with m and n ways.
Equally likely outcomes: \(P = favorable \div total\).
A simulation uses random numbers to estimate a probability.
