1 Arun, Marcus, Sofia, and Zara have been investigating probability.
They are taking shapes out of bags without looking.
a Draw a line from each child to the number of bags.

2 Here is a set of cards used in a game.

Tasha is going to investigate the chance of taking a card with


a triangle symbol.

a Circle the cards with a triangle symbol. [1]

6 Some children are members of a tennis club.
This Carroll diagram shows the children in the club.

a How many children are members of the club? ……………. [1]

8 Marco has put 4 different coloured balls into a bag.
He is going to conduct a chance experiment and record outcomes
when he takes and replaces a ball 100 times from the bag.

These are his predictions:


• I expect to take a red ball 20 times.
• I expect that none of the balls I take will be blue.
• I expect to take a yellow ball 25 times.
• I expect to take a purple ball 50 times.
• I expect to take a green ball 5 times.

a Colour the picture to show what colour balls Marco put into bag.

b If you experimented would you expect your results to be exactly


as you predicted? Why?

b The third bag does not belong to either of the children.


The probability of taking a prism from the bag is 3 out of 4.
The probability of taking a 3D shape from the bag is 4 out of 4.
The probability of taking a pyramid from the bag is 1 out of 4.

4 Yes, (Learners’ explanations), for example:


Two events are mutually exclusive when they cannot happen at the
same time.

5 a 1/5 or 1 out of 5 b 10

6a8 b i 1/8 or 1 out of 8 ii 3/8 or 3 out of 8


iii 5/8 or 5 out of 8 iv 5/8 or 5 out of 8 v 6/8 = ¾ or 3 out of 4

8 a Balls coloured: 4 red, 0 blue, 5 yellow, 10 purple and 1 green.


b No, because each time a ball is selected, the outcome is random.
As the experiment continues, the pattern of outcomes may become
closer to the predictions.
