Question 1
What is the sample space for the given situation?
Responses
A {3, 5, 7}
B {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
C {3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
D {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}
The sample space for the given situation is {3, 5, 7}. Therefore, the correct response is A.
A book club is trying to decide a day and time to meet. They can meet either Monday or Wednesday. The possible times are 2 p.m. or 6 p.m. What is the sample space for this situation?
Responses
A {(M, 2), (M, 6), (W, 2), (W, 6)}
B {(M, 2), (W, 6)}
C {(M, W), (2, 6)}
D {(M, 6), (W, 2)}
The sample space for this situation is {(M, 2), (M, 6), (W, 2), (W, 6)}. Therefore, the correct response is A.

You roll a six-sided die twice. What is the probability of rolling a 2 and then an odd number?
Responses
A 118
1 18
B 16
1 6
C 112
1 12
D 13
The probability of rolling a 2 on the first roll is 1/6. As there are three odd numbers (1, 3, and 5) on the die, the probability of rolling an odd number on the second roll, given that a 2 was rolled on the first roll, is 3/6 or 1/2. Using the multiplication rule of probability, we multiply the probabilities of the two independent events to get:

P(rolling a 2 and then an odd number) = P(rolling a 2) x P(rolling an odd number after rolling a 2) = (1/6) x (1/2) = 1/12

Therefore, the correct response is C.
A bag of marbles contains 5 red, 3 blue, 2 green, and 2 yellow marbles.

What is the probability that you choose a blue marble and then another blue marble, assuming you replace the first marble?

1 24
B 34

C 116
1 16
D 12
The probability of choosing a blue marble on the first draw is 3/12 or 1/4, since there are 3 blue marbles out of a total of 12 marbles. Since the first marble is replaced, the probability of choosing a blue marble on the second draw is also 3/12 or 1/4.

Using the multiplication rule of probability, we multiply the probabilities of the two independent events to get:

P(choosing a blue marble and then another blue marble with replacement) = P(choosing a blue marble on the first draw) x P(choosing a blue marble on the second draw)

= (1/4) x (1/4)

= 1/16

Therefore, the correct response is C.
To win a prize at a carnival, a contestant needs to choose a red (R), blue (B), or yellow (Y) box. They also have to decide if there is a gold (G) or silver (S) ball under the chosen box. Which choice represents the sample space for the event?
Responses
A {R, B, Y, G, S, RG, RS, BG, BS, YG, YS}{R, B, Y, G, S, RG, RS, BG, BS, YG, YS}
B {R, B, Y}
{R, B, Y}
C {RG, RS, BG, BS, YG, YS}{RG, RS, BG, BS, YG, YS}
D {G, S}
The sample space for the event consists of all possible outcomes or choices. In this situation, the contestant needs to choose a box (R, B, or Y) and a ball (G or S) under that box. Therefore, the sample space consists of all possible combinations of the two choices:

{R, B, Y, G, S, RG, RS, BG, BS, YG, YS}

Therefore, the correct response is A.
