Lesson 6 Problem-Solving PracticeProbability of Simple Events

1. A pin is dropped at random onto the rectangle below. The pin lands in one of the small squares. What is the probability that the pin lands inside a gray square?

2. Tyler has 14 video games. Five are action/adventure games, 2 are arcade games, 1 is a racing game, and 6 are sports games. Tyler cannot decide which game to play, so he will choose one without looking. What is the probability that the game he chooses is an arcade game?

3. Paige recorded the number of hits four players had out of 100 at bats. Liam had 54 hits, Jarrod had 39 hits, Kyle had 28 hits, and Niall had 42 hits. What is the probability that Liam did not get a hit?

4. A bag contains some tiles. Each tile has the number 5, 10, 15, or 20 written on it. The table shows the frequency of each number in the bag. Melanie chooses a tile at random.

Number 5 10 15 20

Frequency 93 51 26 30

What is the probability that Melanie chose a tile with 15 or 20 on it?

5. A company produces 800 engines each day. A report shows that 12 engines produced each day have a defect. What is the probability that a randomly selected engine does not have a defect?

6. Jessie has a deck of cards with shapes on each card. There are 20 cards with squares, 25 cards with circles, 34 cards with trapezoids, and 16 cards with parallelograms. A card is selected without looking. What is the probability that Jessie selected a card with a circle?
