Use the spinner to answer the questions. 1. What is the probability that you will land on a red wedge? 2. What is the probability that you will land on a green or yellow wedge? 3. What is the probability that you will land on a wedge that has a color with the letter “e” in the name? 5/12 1/12 12/12 or 1

4. Samantha goes to a party and has to select an ice cream cone from the following options. There are 2 types of cones (sugar and waffle). There are four types of ice cream (chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and mint.) Draw a tree diagram to show all of the possible combinations can be made.

7. Of 28 students in a class, 7 are five years old. What is P(five years old) and P(not five years old)? P(five years old) = 1/4 P(not five years old) = 3/4

9. A spinner has equal-sized sections numbered 1 through 20. You spin the spinner once. What is the probability, written as a decimal, that you spin a multiple of 5? 4/20 or 1/5 = 0.2

10. If even, the Player A wins. Otherwise, Player B wins. Outcome 123456 # of Times Rolled 9121914251 The table below shows the results of tossing a chipped number cube 80 times. Tell whether each game seems fair. Tell why or why not. 11. If 1, 2, or 3, then Player A wins. Otherwise, Player B wins. No; the experimental probability of rolling an even number is 27/80 Yes: the experimental probability of rolling a 1, 2, or 3 is 1/2.

12. A teacher asks 70 random students, “Did you see the electricity exhibit.?” Fourteen answer yes. If 1,000 students went on the trip, how many likely saw the exhibit? 200 students

13. Suppose you take a sample of 15 pieces of bubble gum, and a sample of 60 pieces of gum from one days production. Which sample is more likely to give you a closer prediction? Explain why. The larger sample (60 pieces) because experimental probability is more accurate with more trials.
