3. 1.Consider the numbers 2,3,4,8,10,17,21,23. If one of these numbers is chosen at random find a) p(even) b) p( multiple of 3) c) p(prime) d) p(multiple of 5) 2.The letters of the word MATHEMATICS are all placed separately on cards and put in a bag. One card is chosen at random from the bag. Calculate a) p(M) b) p(not a vowel) c) p(S) M ATHEAMT C IS 3. Two dice are thrown. Calculate a) p(sum is 4) b) p(sum is less than 5)

4. 4. A pack of cards. One card is drawn at random. Calculate a) p(a club) b) p(king) c) p(10 of clubs) d) p(red face card) 5.There are 3 separate bags. In the first bag written on separate cards are the letters B, C and P. In the second bag are the letters O and A. In the third bag are the letters T and N. A letter is chosen from each bag in turn (bag 1 first, then bag 2, then bag 3) and a three letter word is formed taking the letters in the order they were drawn. List all the possibilities you can get. What is the probability that an actual ‘English’ word will be formed. PBC OA NT
