Lesson Worksheet

Q1:

If two dice are rolled, what is the probability that the sum is 4 or doubles are rolled?

Q2:

A fair six-sided die with the numbers 1 to 6 is rolled, and a fair coin is flipped. What is the probability that the number obtained on the die is a factor of 12 and the coin lands with its heads side down?

Q3:

In an experiment a coin is flipped and a die is rolled once. Event is the appearance of a head and a prime number. Event is the appearance of an even number. Find the probability of event or event occurring but not both.
