- 0
- 1
- 1/2
- Negative
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: B. 1
P(certain event) = 1. P(impossible event) = 0. Probabilities lie in [0, 1].
Sum over all mutually exclusive complete outcomes = 1.

Worked practice questions
Probability of rolling a 6 on a fair die:
- 1/2
- 1/3
- 1/4
- 1/6
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: D. 1/6
P(6) = 1/6 for a fair die.
6 equally likely outcomes, 1 favorable.
For independent events A and B, P(A and B) equals:
- P(A) + P(B)
- P(A) - P(B)
- P(A) × P(B)
- P(A) / P(B)
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: C. P(A) × P(B)
**Independent events:** P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B).
**For dependent events:** P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B|A).
