Example Question #871 : Grade 7

Kara is going to roll a die and spin a spinner, shown below. What is the probability that she will roll a  and the spinner will land on yellow? 

1

 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To help us solve this problem, we can make a tree diagram to show all of the possible outcomes of rolling a die and spinning the spinner:

2

As shown from the diagram, we have  possible outcomes. There is only one way to roll a six and for the spinner to land on yellow; thus, the probability is 

Example Question #1 : Represent Sample Spaces For Compound Events: Ccss.Math.Content.7.Sp.C.8b

Kara is going to roll a die and spin a spinner, shown below. What is the probability that she will roll an even number and the spinner will land on pink?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To help us solve this problem, we can make a tree diagram to show all of the possible outcomes of rolling a die and spinning the spinner:

2

As shown from the diagram, we have  possible outcomes. There are three even numbers on a die: ,  and  and for each other those numbers there is one way to spin a pink; thus, the probability is 

Example Question #873 : Grade 7

Kara is going to roll a die and spin a spinner, shown below. What is the probability that she will roll an odd number and the spinner will land on orange?

2

As shown from the diagram, we have  possible outcomes. There are three odd numbers on a die: ,  and  and for each of those numbers there is one way to spin an orange; thus, the probability is 

Example Question #2 : Represent Sample Spaces For Compound Events: Ccss.Math.Content.7.Sp.C.8b

Kara is going to roll a die and spin a spinner, shown below. What is the probability that she will roll a  and the spinner will land on any color except yellow? 

1

 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To help us solve this problem, we can make a tree diagram to show all of the possible outcomes of rolling a die and spinning the spinner:

2

As shown from the diagram, we have  possible outcomes. There is only one way to roll a six and two colors other than yellow; thus, the probability is 

Example Question #875 : Grade 7

Kara is going to roll a die and spin a spinner, shown below. What is the probability that she will roll a number other than  and the spinner will land on yellow or orange? 

1

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To help us solve this problem, we can make a tree diagram to show all of the possible outcomes of rolling a die and spinning the spinner:

2

As shown from the diagram, we have  possible outcomes. There are five numbers other than , and . For those five numbers, the spinner can land one of two colors, yellow or orange; thus, the probability is 

Example Question #11 : Represent Sample Spaces For Compound Events: Ccss.Math.Content.7.Sp.C.8b

Kara is going to roll a die and spin a spinner, shown below. What is the probability that she will roll a number other than  and the spinner will land on yellow?

Explanation:

To help us solve this problem, we can make a tree diagram to show all of the possible outcomes of rolling a die and spinning the spinner:

2

As shown from the diagram, we have  possible outcomes. There are five numbers other than , and  and for those five numbers, the spinner can land on yellow once; thus, the probability is 

Example Question #877 : Grade 7

Charlie is going to roll a die and flip a coin. What is the probability that he will roll a number other than  and the coin will land with heads facing up? 

 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To help us solve this problem, we can make a tree diagram to show all of the possible outcomes of rolling a die and flipping a coin:

1

As shown from the diagram, we have  possible outcomes. There are five other numbers on a die, other than , and . Looking at those numbers on the diagram, we can see that there are five ways to roll a number other than   and for the coin to land on heads; thus, the probability is 

Example Question #871 : Grade 7

What is the probability of flipping a coin three times, with the coin landing on heads all three times, and rolling a  on a die? 

 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

There are two sides to a coin: heads and tails. The probability of the coin landing on heads is 

To determine the probability of the coin landing on heads three times in a row, we take the probability of the coin landing on heads and multiply it three times. 

Based on the question, we want to combine the probability of flipping a coin three times, with the coin landing on heads all three times, with the probability of rolling a  on a die. There are  sides to a die, and only one of those sides has the number ; thus, the probability of rolling a  on a die is 

We want the probability of all of these events occurring, so we need to multiply:

 

Example Question #874 : Grade 7

What is the probability of flipping a coin two times, with the coin landing on heads all two times, and rolling a  on a die? 

 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

There are two sides to a coin: heads and tails. The probability of the coin landing on heads is 

To determine the probability of the coin landing on heads two times in a row, we take the probability of the coin landing on heads and multiply it two times. 

Based on the question, we want to combine the probability of flipping a coin two times, with the coin landing on heads all two times, with the probability of rolling a  on a die. There are  sides to a die, and only one of those sides has the number ; thus, the probability of rolling a  on a die is 

We want the probability of all of these events occurring, so we need to multiply:

 

Example Question #1 : Design And Use A Simulation To Generate Frequencies For Compound Events: Ccss.Math.Content.7.Sp.C.8c

What is the probability of flipping a coin four times, with the coin landing on heads all four times, and rolling a  or a  on a die? 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

There are two sides to a coin: heads and tails. The probability of the coin landing on heads is 

To determine the probability of the coin landing on heads four times in a row, we take the probability of the coin landing on heads and multiply it four times. 

Based on the question, we want to combine the probability of flipping a coin four times, with the coin landing on heads all four times, with the probability of rolling a  or a   on a die. There are  sides to a die, and one of those sides has the number  and one has the number ; thus, the probability of rolling a  or a  on a die is 

We want the probability of all of these events occurring, so we need to multiply:
