Worked practice questions

A fair coin is tossed twice. How many outcomes are there in the sample space?

  1. $2$
  2. $4$
  3. $6$
  4. $8$
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. $4$

Each toss has 2 possible outcomes (H or T), and the tosses are independent. By the multiplication principle, the sample space has $2 \times 2 = 4$ outcomes: {HH, HT, TH, TT}.

A fair six-sided die is rolled once. What is the probability of getting an even number?

  1. $\dfrac{1}{6}$
  2. $\dfrac{1}{2}$
  3. $\dfrac{1}{3}$
  4. $\dfrac{2}{3}$
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. $\dfrac{1}{2}$

The even outcomes are {2, 4, 6}, so the number of favourable outcomes is 3. The total sample space has 6 outcomes. $P(\text{even}) = \dfrac{3}{6} = \dfrac{1}{2}$.

$\sin(180° - \theta)$ equals:

  1. $-\cos\theta$
  2. $-\sin\theta$
  3. $\sin\theta$
  4. $\cos\theta$
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. $\sin\theta$

Supplementary-angle identity: $\sin(180° - \theta) = \sin\theta$. Reason: sine is positive in the second quadrant (where $180° - \theta$ lies for $0° < \theta < 180°$), and the reference angle is $\theta$. Companion identities: - $\cos(180° - \theta) = -\cos\theta$ - $\tan(180° - \theta) = -\tan\theta$
