AP Stats Chapter 5 Exam

In a particular game, a fair die is tossed. If the number of spots showing is either four or five, you win $1. If the number of spots showing is six, you win $4. And if the number of spots showing is one, two, or three, you win nothing. You are going to play the game twice.
The probability that you win money at least once in the two games is

• .75
• .5
• .25
• .125

In a particular game, a fair die is tossed. If the number of spots showing is either four or five, you win $1. If the number of spots showing is six, you win $4. And if the number of spots showing is one, two, or three, you win nothing. You are going to play the game twice.
The probability that you win $4 both times is

• 1/6
• 1/3
• 1/36
• 1/12

An event A will occur with probability 0.5. An event B will occur with probability 0.6. The probability that both A and B will occur is 0.1.
The conditional probability of A given B is

• .5
• .3
• .2
• 1/6

If you buy one ticket in the Provincial Lottery, then the probability that you will win a prize is 0.11. If you buy one ticket each month for five months, what is the probability that you will win at least one prize?

• .55
• .50
• .44
• .45

Suppose that A and B are two independent events with P(A) = .2 and P(B) = .4. 
P(A∩B^C) is

• .08
• .12
• .52
• .60

A die is loaded so that the number 6 comes up three times as often as any other number.  What, then, is the probability of rolling a 6?

• .125
• .375
• .500
• .250

Suppose we toss a penny and a nickel. Let A be the event that the penny is a head and B be the event that the nickel is a tail. 
The events A and B are

• Disjoint
• complements
• independent
• dependent

An assignment of probability must obey which of the following?

• The probability of any event must be a number between 0 and 1, inclusive.
• The sum of all the probabilities of all outcomes in the sample space must be exactly 1.
• The probability of an event is the sum of the outcomes in the sample space which make up the event.
• All of these reasons

Students at University X must be in one of the class ranks—freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior. At University X, 35% of the students are freshmen and 30% are sophomores. If a student is selected at random, the probability that her or she is either a junior or a senior is

• 30%
• 35%
• 65%
• 70%

A randomly selected student is asked to respond, yes, no, or maybe to the question "Do you intend to vote in the next presidential election?" The sample space is {Yes, No, Maybe}. Which of the following represents a legitimate assignment of probabilities for this sample space?

• 0.4, 0.4, 0.2
• 0.4, 0.6, 0.4
• 0.3, .03, 0.3
• 0.5, 0.3, -0.2
