Concept explainers
The pool table in the student lounge is broken, and when Carrie puts her quarter into the slot, only the balls numbered 1 through 5 come down the chute. She selects one without looking and puts it on the table. She then selects another without looking. Draw a tree diagram to determine the sample space and find the probability that
(a) The sum of the numbers of the balls is odd.
(b) The number on the second ball is larger than the number on the first ball.
(c) The sum of the numbers on the balls is greater than 4.

- In Pennsylvania’s Cash 5 game, a player chooses five different numbers from 1 to 43. If these five numbers match the five numbers drawn (in any order), the player wins (or shares) the top prize. What is the probability of winning the top prize when the player buys one ticket?arrow_forwardYou draw one card at random from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. What is the probability that the card is either an ace or a spade?arrow_forward
