Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

A fair six-sided dice is thrown once. What is the probability of obtaining a number greater than 4?

  1. 1/6
  2. 1/3
  3. 1/2
  4. 2/3
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B1/3
Award 1 mark for identifying that 2 outcomes (5 and 6) out of 6 equally likely outcomes satisfy the condition, giving probability 2/6 = 1/3. A is incorrect — this represents only one outcome. C is incorrect — assumes 3 favourable outcomes. D is incorrect — this reverses favourable and unfavourable outcomes.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which statement correctly describes an impossible event on the probability scale?

  1. It has probability less than 0
  2. It has probability equal to 0
  3. It has probability between 0 and 0.5
  4. It has probability equal to 0.5
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: BIt has probability equal to 0
Award 1 mark for identifying that impossible events have probability exactly 0. A is incorrect — probabilities cannot be negative. C is incorrect — events between 0 and 0.5 are unlikely but possible. D is incorrect — probability 0.5 indicates an even chance.
