There are eight cards in a set. They are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and
8. A player pulls one card at random and checks to see if the result is less
than 3. If so, the player wins. What does 1/4 represent in this scenario? -
ANSWER - Probability of winning
Six cards each have their own color: green, red, yellow, black, white,

A random experiment has {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} for a sample space.
What is an example of disjoint events for this sample space? - ANSWER
- Event A is {1, 2, 3, 4}, and event B is {5, 6, 7, 8}.
The sample space for a random experiment is {Hannah, Li, Lucas, Lulu,
Malik, Maria, Nora, Oliver}. What are the outcomes corresponding to
the event "A and B" if event A is {Li, Lulu, Malik, Maria} and event B is
{Li, Lulu, Malik, Nora}? - ANSWER - {Li, Lulu, Malik}
A random experiment has the sample space {F, H, J, K, L, M, Q, S, X,
Y}. Event A is {H, K, Q, S, Y}. Event B is {F, J, K, M, S, X, Y}. Which
outcomes correspond to the event "not A"? - ANSWER - {F, J, L, M, X}
A random experiment has the sample space {2, 4, 6, 12, 19, 49, 58, 59,
60, 99}. Event A is {2, 19, 49, 58, 99}. Event B is {2, 4, 49, 58, 59, 60}.
What is the probability of the event "not A"? - ANSWER - Event 1 is

A bag contains 7 brown marbles, 8 white marbles, and 5 purple marbles.
Randomly picking a brown marble is worth 6 points. Randomly picking
a white marble is worth 3 points. Randomly picking a purple marble is
worth 9 points. What is the expected value of choosing one marble from
the bag? - ANSWER - 5.55
In a game of chance there are two possible moves, A and B, and each
can lead to either success or failure. The probability of A leading to
success is 10%, and if it succeeds it is worth 18 points. On the other
hand, the probability of B leading to success is 65%, and if it succeeds it
is worth 4 points. Which move should a player make, and why? -
ANSWER - B because the expected value is higher than that of A.
