(ii) George says, ‘The probability of getting Tails and a number greater than 4 is .”
Do you agree? Explain your answer.
5. Teena has two sets of cards.

She takes one card at random from each set.


The sample space diagram shows the possible outcomes.

(a) Find the probability that Teena picks exactly one triangle.

(b) Find the probability that Teena picks two black shapes.

6. Yuri has two boxes containing red, black and blue pens only.
Box A contains 3 red pens, 5 black pens and 2 blue pens.
Box B contains 2 red pens, 2 black pens and 1 blue pen.
Yuri picks a pen from one of the boxes at random.
(a) Yuri thinks the probability that the pen will be green is 0.
Explain why Yuri is correct………………………...
(b) Yuri says,
‘I am more likely to pick a red pen from box A than from box B
because there are more red pens in box A than box B.’
Explain why Yuri is not correct………………………….

position.

12. Two fair, six-sided dice are thrown and the numbers shown on the two dice are added.
Samson says that because there are 11 possible results of adding the two numbers shown
