Question in Transition to university
Determine whether outcomes are impossible or certain to occur.
-
Question in Transition to university
Given descriptions of some pairs of random events, pick the ones which are mutually exclusive.
-
Question in Transition to university
This question assesses the students understanding of what it means for two events to be independent or dependent. Specifically, if two events are independent then the outcomes of one event do not affect the outcomes of the other event.
-
Question in Transition to university
This question assesses the students ability to find the expected number of times an event occurs given the probability of the event occurring for a single trial and the total number of trials.
-
Question in Transition to university
Basic probability skills involving coins, dice and other events with equally likely outcomes.
-
Question in Statistics
Example showing how to calculate the probability of A or B using the law $p(A \;\textrm{or}\; B)=p(A)+p(B)-p(A\;\textrm{and}\;B)$.
Easily adapted to other applications.

Question in Statistics
Given the probabilities that each of four out of five friends will win a round of mini-golf, work out the probability that the fifth friend won't win, then use that to find the probability that they will win.
-
Question in Statistics
This question aims to assess the student's understanding of the difference between biased and unbiased events and also to assess the student's understanding of the fact that the experimental probability tends towards the theoretical probability as the number of trials increases.
