Assignment 2 (UNIT 2)

1. A die is rolled once.

1. What is the probability of getting a 3? (1)
2. What is the probability of getting a prime number? (1)
3. What is the probability of the number '9' coming up? (1)
4. What is the probability of getting less than 3? (2)

2. A fair die is tossed, and the up face is observed. If the face is even, you win a K50. Otherwise, you lose a K50.

1. What is the probability that you win?
2. What approach to assigning probabilities did you use?

3. Assuming that a government leader announced that Zambia had recorded a bumper harvest in 2020. Assume further that this was the 12^th year, in Zambias 54 years of independence, that such an achievement was recorded. On the basis of this information:

1. What is the probability that Zambia will not record a bumper harvest in 2021?
2. Which approach to probability did you use to answer this question?
