2. Eight Ball : This is a game played on a pool table with 15 balls numbered 1 through 15 and a
cue ball that is solid white. Of the 15 numbered balls, 8 are a solid (nonwhite) color and
numbered 1 through 8, and seven are striped balls numbered 9 through 15.
The fifteen numbered pool balls (no cueball) are placed in a large bowl and mixed, then one
is drawn out.
(i) What is the probability of drawing the eight ball ?
(ii) What is the probability of drawing a number greater than fifteen ?
(iii) What is the probability of drawing an even number ?
(iv) What is the probability of drawing a multiple of three ?
(v) What is the probability of drawing a solid color and an even number ?
3. Family Structures : For a recent year, 51% of the families in the United States had no children
under the age of 18; 20% had one child; 19% had two children; 7% had three children; and
3% had four or more children.
If a family is selected at random, find the following probability.
(i) Find the probability that the family has two or three children.
(ii) Find the probability that the family has more than one child.
(iii) Find the probability that the family has less than three children.
(iv) Find the probability that the family has more than three children
