Question:
Needs a comma between outcomes and you. "For equally likely outcomes, you can..."
I would personally change 'happening' to 'occuring'.
I would also change 'So' to 'Therefore'.
Change 'Let's say' to 'If'.
The question with the example does seem quite wordy. I was wondering if you would be able to reduce the words by having a table for the line starting "We roll a...".
I don't think you need a comma after "fair" in "fair 6-sided die". I would then place the comma as follows, "fair 6-sided die, we are equally..."
I also don't think you need a comma after 'Hence'.
For c) I would add another answer with the same numerator but different denominator. This is because you do not have to calculate the probability but just look for the numerator with the same value as the blue balls. I understand that in the cases of simplification this may not be the case, but I think these occur less often then not.
Advice:
a) i) "Now we must think how many outcomes are there that result in an even number being rolled." I would remove are there that so it reads as follows.
"Now we must think how many outcomes result in an even number being rolled.c) "As the ball is being selected randomly from the bag, there is an equal probability of selecting a ball which is any of the 3 colours."
I am not sure this statement is true or at least reads such that, there is an equal probability of selecting any of the 3 colours when the probabilities for the selection of the three colours are different.

As discussed, it would be nice to have an example in the statement.

Good intro to basic concepts. Part c) seems a little contrived though - there's no way I would let my daughter pick a pet at random! Also, the outcomes are probably not equally likely because the child probably doesn't like each type of pet equally, and within each group there are likely to be distinctions too. I would think of another example where it makes sense to be randomly assigned something or to randomly pick something. The numbers need to be variables and you should let the student know to simplify their answer.

Error in variable testing condition
There's an error in the variable testing condition. Variable values can't be generated until it's fixed.
No variables have been defined in this question.

For each combination of answer and choice, specify the number of marks to add or subtract when the student picks it.
For each combination of answer and choice, write 1 if the student should tick it, or 0 if they should leave it unticked.
Test that the marking algorithm works
Check that the marking algorithm works with different sets of variables and student answers using the interface below.
Create unit tests to save expected results and to document how the algorithm should work.
There's an error which means the marking algorithm can't run:
This is an extension type part. There is no expected answer, and it's assumed that the marking depends on interactions within the part's prompt.
You can test this part's marking algorithm by interacting with the rendering of the part's prompt below.

When you need to change the way this part works beyond the available options, you can write JavaScript code to be executed at the times described below.
To account for errors made by the student in earlier calculations, replace question variables with answers to earlier parts.
In order to create a variable replacement, you must define at least one variable and one other part.
| Variable | Answer to use | Must be answered? | |
|---|---|---|---|
The variable replacements you've chosen will cause the following variables to be regenerated each time the student submits an answer to this part:
These variables have some random elements, which means they're not guaranteed to have the same value each time the student submits an answer. You should define new variables to store the random elements, so that they remain the same each time this part is marked.
This part can't be reached by the student.
Add a "next part" reference to this part from another part.
None of the parts which can lead to this part are reachable either.
