    1) This document contains instructions for a probability problem set with 4 questions. Students are asked to show their work and provide thorough explanations and justifications for their answers. 2) The first question asks for the theoretical probability of rolling doubles with two standard dice. The second question provides the results of rolling a standard die 24 times and asks for the experimental and theoretical probabilities of rolling a 5. 3) The third question asks which of two events is more likely when rolling a standard die and drawing from a standard deck of cards. 4) The fourth question asks for the probability that Tao randomly draws a pencil first and then a blue pen from his pencil case without replacing the first item drawn.

    Problem Set 1: Introduction to Probability


    Instructions: Show full solutions to the following, including writing out formulas and providing there-
    fore statements. Form will be considered during grading. Submit a PDF of all of your work, in order, to
    the corresponding assignment dropbox prior to the due date.

    1. Considering two standard dice, determine the theoretical probability of rolling doubles. (3 Marks)

    2. A standard die is rolled 24 times and turns up a 5 six times. (6 Marks)

    What is the experimental probability of rolling a 5 on a given trial?

    What is the theoretical probability of rolling a 5?

    Explain why these answers are different.

    3. A standard die is rolled and a card is drawn from a standard deck of playing cards. (8 Marks)
    Which of the following is more likely to occur? Justify your answers with mathematical reasoning.

    - An even value will be rolled and a heart will be drawn


    - A value larger than 4 will be rolled and a face card will be drawn

    4. Tao has three pencils, two blue pens, and a red pen in his pencil case. Suppose he randomly
    withdraws one writing tool, followed by another, without replacing the first one. What is the
    probability that Tao randomly draws a pencil followed by a blue pen? (6 Marks)
