1 A spinner has four coloured sections. They are different sizes. The spinner is spun.

The probability that it is blue is 0.15.

The probability that it is green is 0.45.

a Find the probability that it is not blue. [1]

b Find the probability that it is neither blue nor green [1]

2 Here are two sets of cards.

A C 1 4
B 2
3

One card is taken at random from each set.

a One possible outcome is A1. List all the possible outcomes in this way.

[1]

b Find the probability of choosing a B and an odd number. [1]

c Find the probability of not choosing C or 3. [1]

This table shows the results of 200 trials.

Event no 6s one 6 two 6s three 6s

Frequency 104 81 14 1

c The theoretical probability of one 6 in three throws is 0.347.

Compare this with the experimental probability.

5 An unbiased dice has 10 faces, numbered 1 to 10. This dice and a coin are thrown together.
One outcome is a 4 and a head.

a How many outcomes are there? [1]

b Find the probability of a tail and a number greater than 2. [1]

6 A fair dice has 6 faces. There is a letter A or B or C on each face.

The dice is thrown 20 times. Here are the frequencies of each letter.

Number A B C
Frequency 7 5 8

a Find the experimental probability of letter A. [1]

Here are the frequencies after 100 throws.

Number A B C
