Sample Space Diagrams for Combined Events

Work out the total number of outcomes in the sample space for 2 combined events, and use it to find each probability.

  1. 1.
    Spinner A has 8 equal sections, numbered 1 to 8. Spinner B has 5 equal sections, numbered 1 to 5. Both are spun once. How many equally likely outcomes are in the sample space, and what is P(spinner A lands on 4 AND spinner B lands on 5)?
  2. 2.
    Spinner A has 6 equal sections, numbered 1 to 6. Spinner B has 2 equal sections, numbered 1 to 2. Both are spun once. How many equally likely outcomes are in the sample space, and what is P(spinner A lands on 6 AND spinner B lands on 2)?
  3. 3.
    Spinner A has 5 equal sections, numbered 1 to 5. Spinner B has 2 equal sections, numbered 1 to 2. Both are spun once. How many equally likely outcomes are in the sample space, and what is P(spinner A lands on 1 AND spinner B lands on 1)?
  4. 4.
    Spinner A has 2 equal sections, numbered 1 to 2. Spinner B has 3 equal sections, numbered 1 to 3. Both are spun once. How many equally likely outcomes are in the sample space, and what is P(spinner A lands on 2 AND spinner B lands on 2)?
  5. 5.
    Spinner A has 3 equal sections, numbered 1 to 3. Spinner B has 3 equal sections, numbered 1 to 3. Both are spun once. How many equally likely outcomes are in the sample space, and what is P(spinner A lands on 3 AND spinner B lands on 3)?
  6. 6.
    Two fair 6-sided dice are rolled and their scores are added together. Find P(the total is 12), giving your answer as a fraction in its simplest form.
  7. 7.
    Two fair 6-sided dice are rolled and their scores are added together. Find P(the total is 11), giving your answer as a fraction in its simplest form.
  8. 8.
    Two fair 6-sided dice are rolled and their scores are added together. Find P(the total is 10), giving your answer as a fraction in its simplest form.
  9. 9.
    Two fair 6-sided dice are rolled and their scores are added together. Find P(the total is 4), giving your answer as a fraction in its simplest form.
  10. 10.
    Two fair 6-sided dice are rolled and their scores are added together. Find P(the total is 7), giving your answer as a fraction in its simplest form.
