  1. A bag has 55 red, 44 blue and 11 green counter. Find the probability of choosing blue.

  2. P(snow)=0.15P(\text{snow}) = 0.15. What is P(no snow)P(\text{no snow})?

  3. A spinner has probabilities P(red)=0.5P(\text{red}) = 0.5, P(blue)=0.3P(\text{blue}) = 0.3. If only red, blue and green are possible, find P(green)P(\text{green}).

  4. Two fair dice are rolled and the scores added. How many ways give a total of 55?
