Questions
1. If I have 5 cards that are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in 𝟐
a box and I randomly choose a card, what is the 𝑨𝒏𝒔𝒘𝒆𝒓:
probability that the number on the card is even?

class, what is the probability that it is a boy? Answer will be the number of boys
divided by the number in the class.

Component 4B
Question:
If Paulo then removes all the balls from the bag and replaces them with a different
combination of the 3 colors, how many white balls would have to be in the bag to get a
probability of 1/3 for a draw of a white ball?
4

Questions
Read out the following questions and ask students to answer
in the space on their worksheet.
1. Design a different combination of colors (that means that
the combination would not be 4 of each color) for the 12 balls
and calculate the probability of each color from a single
draw? If there is a second draw of a ball from the bag, find
the difference between the probabilities for ‘with
replacement’ and ‘without replacement’.
