1. The probability of selecting a boy 11/22, so P = 0.5.

2.
a) The probability of taking a blue one is 12/30, so P = 0.4
b) The probability of taking a red one is 7/30, so P = 0.23.
c) The probability of taking a gray one is 5/29, so P = 0.17.

3. She should take a candy from bag B, because P (A) = 0.67 < P (B) = 0.78.

4.
a) The probability that the student had a dog is 9/21, so P = 0.43.
b) The probability that the student had at least a cat is 8/20, so P = 0.4.

5. The probability that the student was under twelve was 25/25, so P = 1.

6. The probability of listening to a ballad is 8/12, so P = 0.67.

1- A student had to be chosen from Ann’s class. There were 11 boys and 11 girls in total
in her class. The teacher wrote their names on separate pieces of paper, and then took
out one of the papers without looking. What is the probability of selecting a boy?

2- Thomas had a bag with 30 marbles: 12 blue, 7 red, 5 white and the rest were gray.
a) He took a marble. What is the probability that it is a blue marble?
b) If he puts the marble back and takes another one, what is the probability of
taking a red one?
c) Thomas took a grey marble and didn’t put it back. What is the probability of
taking another grey marble immediately after that?

HOMEWORK

3- Julie was given two bags full of goodies. There were 10 chocolate bars and 5 mint
candies in bag A. There were 7 chocolate bars and 2 strawberry mini-pies in bag B.
She wanted to eat a chocolate bar. From which bag should she take the candy (so that

b) It turned out the student didn’t have any pets. They randomly picked out a
second name (excluding the first chosen). What was the probability that that
student had at least a cat?
