Understand and apply the rule that probabilities of all mutually exclusive outcomes sum to one; use this to find the probability of a complementary event (P(not A) = 1 − P(A))
A first look
This shelf is still being planted — the questions are being written and checked. Come back soon. A Skill needs at least 5 checked questions before it opens here.
Question 1 of 3
A spinner is divided into five regions named W, X, Y, Z, and V. The teacher writes the following probabilities for landing on each region: P(W) = 1/4, P(X) = 0.2, P(Y) = 3/10, P(Z) = 0.15. What probability must be assigned to region V so that the probabilities for all five regions add up to 1?
Question 2 of 3
A spinner is divided into four sections. The teacher writes the following probabilities for landing on each section: P(A) = 0.25, P(B) = 0.30, P(C) = 0.20, P(D) = 0.25. Do these probabilities form a valid probability distribution for the spinner?
Question 3 of 3
A fair six‑sided die is rolled once. What is the probability of obtaining an even number?
