Question 1
An experiment is to flip a fair coin four times. State the sample space. Let H = the coin came up heads and T = the coin came up tails. S = { } Find the probability of getting exactly two heads. P(2 heads) = Find the probability of getting at least two heads. P(at least 2 heads) = Find the probability of getting all heads or all tails. P(all heads or all tails) =
Question 2
An experiment is rolling two fair dice and adding the numbers. State the sample space. S = Find the probability of getting a sum of 12. Round to four decimal places, if necessary. P(12) = Find the probability of getting a sum of 6. Round to four decimal places, if necessary. P(6) = Find the probability of getting a sum of 3 or sum of 5. Round to four decimal places, if necessary. P(3 or 5) = Find the probability of not getting a sum of 11. Round to four decimal places, if necessary. P(not 11) =
Question 3
Read over each scenario and determine if the problem is asking you to find an experimental probability or a theoretical probability. While playing Life Heather first twelve spins were 2, 8, 4, 8, 6, 1, 3, 2, 9, 8, 7, and 10. Based on her previous spins, what is the probability that her next spin will be a 2?

Leo and his friend have decided that they will decide where to go eat for dinner by flippling a coin. If they flip at least three heads out of five flips, then Leo will get to choose. If they get at least three tails out of five flips, then his friend will get to choose. What is the probability that Leo will get to choose where they will eat dinner?

Mara Fernanda is starting to feel like the dice she is using is not fair based on the first twenty rolls. She rolls the dice 100 times to test the dice out and rolls a 3 thirty-nine times, a 5 twenty-six times, a 4 seventeen times, a 6 twelve times, a 1 five times, 2 two times. Mara Fernanda needs to roll a 4 or a 6 to win the game on her next roll. Based on her 100 rolls what is the probability that she will win on her next roll?

- Amelia is a medical researcher. Upon reading through a random sample of ten thousand medical records, she discovers that 150 of the patients at the hospital contracted a particular infection during their stay. What should she conclude is the probability of an individual patient contracting that particular infection during their hospital stay?

Amelia is investigating the incidence of six different childhood diseases (the common cold, flu, strep throat, ear infections, the croup, and whooping cough). If she currently has no additional information and assumes that these diseases are equilogical, what would she assume is the probability of a child with one of these six diseases having whooping cough?

Question 4
A card is drawn from a deck of 52 cards. What is the probability that it is a picture card (Jack, Queen, King, Ace) or a heart ?
P(picture or heart)=
Question 5
In a natural habitat, 70 deer were marked with tags and released back into the park. When the park rangers re-captured 70 deer, 5 of them were tagged. How many deer do you expect there to be in the park?
Question 6
As shown above, a classic deck of cards is made up of 52 cards, 26 are black, 26 are red. Each color is split into two suits of 13 cards each (clubs and spades are black and hearts and diamonds are red). Each suit is split into 13 individual cards (Ace, 2-10, Jack, Queen, and King). If you select a card at random, what is the probability of getting: a) A(n) 2 of Club s? (Please enter a reduced fraction.) b) A Spade or Heart? (Please enter a reduced fraction.) c) A number smaller than 2 (counting the ace as a 1)? (Please enter a reduced fraction.)
