1 1. Use the spinner to name the color that fits each of the following statements. green blue white white blue a. The spinner will land on this color about as often as it lands on white. b. The chance of getting this color is 1 6. c. The probability of landing on this color is greater than 30%. 2. In 12 spins, the spinner lands on green times. Explain how this is possible if the spinner should only land on green 1 out of every 6 times. 3. Answer the following questions about making random draws from a deck of five cards numbe 1, 2, 3,, and 5. a. What is the probability of drawing a number 1? Express the probability as a fraction, decimal, and percent. b. What is the probability of not drawing a number 1? Express the probability as a fraction, decimal, and percent. c. Suppose you draw the number 3. What is the probability that 3 will come up on the next draw? Assume that the cards have no memory. Express the probability as a fraction, decimal, and percent.. While making random draws from a deck of five cards numbe 1, 2, 3,, and 5, if you draw a card 0 times, putting the card back and mixing the deck after each draw, about how many times would you expect to draw the number? 5. Balls are dropped, one at a time, into the chute shown below. Each time the chute divides, the ball has an equal chance of going down any of the chutes. Thirty-six balls are dropped into the chute. Fill in the boxes in the tree diagram to show how many balls you would expect to go down each chute.

Seventy-two balls are dropped into the chute. Fill in the boxes in the tree diagram to show how many balls you would expect to go down each chute. 7. Mary and Trent designed the game Lucky Draw for their school carnival. To play, draw a card from a standard deck of cards. Replace the card after each draw. If you draw a card you lose. If you draw a card, you get to draw again. If you draw a card on the second draw, you win the prize. If you draw a card on the second draw, you lose. Make a tree diagram to help you answer the question below. a. What is the probability of winning Lucky Draw? b. If 108 people play Lucky Draw, how many would you expect to win? c. Explain why this is not a fair game. d. How would you change the rules to make Lucky Draw a fair game? 8. Steve and Christine designed the game Lucky Marble for their school carnival. To play, draw a marble blindly from a bag with one green marble and three marbles. Replace the marble after

3 each draw. If you draw a green marble you lose. If you draw a marble, you get to draw again. If you draw a marble on the second draw, you win the prize. If you draw a green marble on the second draw, you lose. Make a tree diagram to help you answer the question below. a. What is the probability of winning Lucky Marble? b. If 96 people play Lucky Marble, how many would you expect to win? c. Explain why this is not a fair game. d. How would you change the rules to make Lucky Marble a fair game? 9. The Venn diagram below shows the number of students in Mr. Penn s class that have a dog, a cat, or both. Use the diagram to answer the following questions. a. How many students have a dog? b. How many students have a cat but not a dog? c. How many students have both a cat and a dog? d. How many students are represented in the diagram? dogs cats The Venn diagram below shows the number of students in Mr. Penn s class that have a dog, a cat, or both. Use the diagram to answer the following questions. a. How many students have a dog? b. How many students have a cat but not a dog? c. How many students have both a cat and a dog? d. How many students are represented in the diagram? dogs cats Suppose a coin is tossed at random onto the gameboard shown below. What is the probability that it will land inside the circle? Use 22 for. Express your answer as a fraction and a 7 percent.
