1 A spinner has four coloured sections. They are different sizes. The spinner is spun.

The probability that it is blue is 0.15.

The probability that it is green is 0.45.

a Find the probability that it is not blue. [1]

b Find the probability that it is neither blue nor green [1]

2 Here are two sets of cards.

A C 1 4
B 2
3

One card is taken at random from each set.

a One possible outcome is A1. List all the possible outcomes in this way.

[1]

b Find the probability of choosing a B and an odd number. [1]

c Find the probability of not choosing C or 3. [1]
