Find the following probabilities, if one card is drawn: 1)P(not King) 2) P(black and King) 3) P(black or King) 4)P(black face card) If two cards are drawn without replacement, find the following probabilities: 5)P(both face cards) 6) P(both clubs) 7) P(one is Jack and one is Queen) A jar contains four Red marbles, three Blue marbles, and two White marbles. If two marbles are drawn without replacement, find the following probabilities: 8) P(the first is Red and the second is Blue) 9) P(Red and Blue in any order) 10) P(both are the same color) 11) Donte is playing a card game with a standard 52-card deck. He s hoping for a club or a face card on his first draw. What is the probability that he draws a club or a face card on his first draw? 12) Corrine is playing a board game. To find the number of spaces to move, she rolls a pair of dice. On her next roll she wants doubles or a sum of 10. What is the probability that she rolls doubles or a sum of 10 on her next roll? 13) Students at Rolling Hills High School receive an achievement award for either performing community service or making the honor roll. The school has 500 students and 180 of them received the award. There were 125 students who performed community service and 75 students who made the honor roll. What is the probability that a randomly chosen student at Rolling Hills High School performed community service and made the honor roll?

2 14) A university is offering a two-day conference for high school math teachers. Teachers can register for Monday or Tuesday or both days. The conference coordinator complies the following data: 150 teachers registered for Monday. 95 teachers registered for Tuesday. 210 teachers registered in all. One registered teacher selected at random will win a laptop computer as a door prize. If the selected teacher has registered for both days, he or she will win an additional bonus prize of $500. What is the probability that the university will have to pay the additional bonus prize? Bianca is playing a board game. She spins the spinner and rolls a standard 6-sided die. Let s be the spinner result and let d be the die result. 15) What is the probability that 16) What is the probability that s + d > 3 and s d > 3? s + d > 5 and s d < 10? Ladarius is playing a board game. To find the number of spaces to move, he rolls a pair of dice. 17) What is the probability that Ladarius 18) What is the probability that Ladarius rolls rolls doubles or a sum of 7? a sum that is less than 4 or greater than 5? 19) If the probability that your school s soccer team will win its game tomorrow is 0.5 and the probability that your school s baseball team will win its game tomorrow is 0.6, what is the probability that both your school s soccer and baseball teams will not win their games?
