Understanding Probability

Question 5 • Troll - Pre-Algebra - MA3119 A

Which of the following events has a probability of 1? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
landing on a blue or red space on a spinner with 1 blue space and 1 red space
B
choosing a red marble from a bag containing red and green marbles
C
drawing a peanut from a bag of trail mix with 4 types of nuts
D
drawing a red card from a stack of 20 red cards
E
getting a heads or a tails when flipping a coin

Explanation

An event has probability 1 when it is certain to happen. The spinner has only blue and red spaces, so landing on blue or red is certain. A stack containing 20 red cards always gives a red card, and a coin flip gives either heads or tails. Choosing a red marble or drawing a peanut is not certain because other outcomes are possible.
