Q1. A spinner has sectors in different colours. The probability it is green is 0.3 and the probability it is brown is 0.15.
Find the probability that it is

A) not green
Answer: 1-0.3=0.7
B) not brown
Answer: 1-0.15=0.85

Q2. Two fair six-sided dice are thrown and the numbers are multiplied together.

a) Draw a table to show the possible outcomes.

(1,1) 1 (1,2) 2 (1,3) 3 (1,4) 4 (1,5) 5 (1,6) 6

(2,1) 2 (2,2) 4 (2,3) 6 (2,4) 8 (2,5) 10 (2,6) 12

(3,1) 3 (3,2) 6 (3,3) 9 (3,4) 12 (3,5) 15 (3,6) 18

(4,1) 4 (4,2) 8 (4,3) 12 (4,4) 16 (4,5) 20 (4,6) 24

5 10 15 20 25 30

6 12 18 24 30 36

b) What is the most likely product? What is the probability of this product?
Answer: 6 and 12 are most likely
P(6) = 4/36
P(12) = 4/36
