One jar contains four balls labeled 1,2,3, and 4. A second jar contains four balls, labeled 1,2,3, and 4. An experiment consists of taking one ball from the first jar, and then taking a ball from the second jar. Find the probabilities of each of the following events; (A) the sum of the numbers on the two balls is 4. (B) the sum of the numbers on the ball is greater than 5.

For the experiment of rolling an ordinary pair of dice, find the probability that the sum will be 10 or 3. (You may want to use a table showing the sum for each of the 36 equally likely outcomes.) The probability that the sum of the pair of dice is 10 or 3 is (Simplify your answer.)
Suppose you roll a 6-sided die, a 10-sided die, and a 20-sided die. What is the probability that the roll on the 6-sided die is strictly larger than both of the other two dice?
Evan is ordering dessert, and he wants the fudge pie. The waitress tells him that he can have up to four toppings: ice cream, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and a cherry. Since he cannot decide how many of the toppings he wants, he tells the waitress to surprise him. If the waitress randomly chooses which toppings to add, what is the probability that Evan gets just chocolate sauce, and a cherry.
A student takes a multiple-choice quiz with 5 questions, each with four possible answers and only oneof them is correct.
