24. ANS: The number of possible events that can be simulated using this method is 12.
25. ANS: The probability of spinning a number other than an even number is

26. ANS: The probability of choosing a red face card is

27. ANS: The probability of rolling pairs or a sum of four is

28. ANS: The probability of the first two winners both choosing DVD movies is

29. ANS: The probability of drawing a red card and then the ace of spades is

30. ANS: P(B|A) =

31. ANS: The value of

is 0.43.

32. ANS: The probability that the sun will appear and there will be no rain is 0.42.

33. ANS: Designate a roll of 1 or 2 to simulate a CD with the bonus track, and a roll of 3-6 to simulate one
without the track. Do a series of trials with one roll and calculate the experimental probability of the first CD
having the bonus track. Then do a series of trials with two rolls and calculate the experimental probability of
at least one of the first two CDs having the bonus track. Continue sets of trials with three rolls, four rolls, and
so on, calculating the experimental probability of having at least one CD with the bonus track. When the
experimental probability is 90%, then the number of rolls it took to achieve this percentage is the number of
CDs needed to be bought.
34. ANS: Let

and

be the sets of choosing red and yellow blocks respectively.

Therefore, the number of balls that has yellow on them is 18.

35. ANS: Let A be the event of rolling a 6 on the first roll and B be the event of a sum less than 10 in three rolls.
The only way that event can happen given that event has occurred is if the next two rolls are (1, 2), (2, 1),
or (1, 1).

36. ANS: Let A be the event of using the cafeteria and B be the event of spending more than $3 in the cafeteria
daily.

37. ANS: P(scoring at least once)

or P(scoring at least once)

38. ANS:

Therefore, in order for the probability of winning the game to be at least 0.05, the spinner must be divided
into 4 or less sections.
39. ANS: The probability of answering a question correctly by guessing is 0.25, and answering it incorrectly is
0.75. The number of ways to pass is to answer two, three, or four questions correctly, and there are 6, 4, and 1
ways of this happening respectively.
