Assignment 5: Probability
Submission Instructions: Write or type your answers to the problems given below. If you write them by hand on paper rather than electronically, scan that page(s). If there are multiple pages to your completed assignment, you must submit them as one multi-page document (pdf, docx, jpg, or png). If you upload more than one document, only the first document will be graded.
Directions: Complete each of the following. Partial credit will be given if enough work is shown to indicate some understanding of the solutions.
Consider the following situation: “A person rolls a four-sided die that has the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the faces. Then the person spins a spinner that has three regions that are the same size; the colors of the three regions are blue, red, and green.”
- Make a tree diagram to show all of the outcomes for rolling the die and spinning the spinner.
- How many outcomes are there? List them all.
- Make a table to show all of the outcomes for rolling the die and spinning the spinner. (Clearly this table should give you the same list of outcomes that you found by making the tree diagram.)
- What is the probability of rolling an even number and getting blue on the spinner?
- What is the probability of rolling an even number or getting blue on the spinner?
