Q1.
Grace has a biased 5-sided spinner.
Grace is going to spin the arrow on the spinner once.
The table below gives the probabilities that the spinner will land on red or on blue or on green.
The probability that the spinner will land on orange is 3 times the probability that the spinner will land on
pink.
(a) Work out the probability that the spinner will land on orange.
...........................................................
(3)
Grace spins the arrow on the spinner 150 times.
(b) Work out an estimate for the number of times the spinner lands on blue.

Q2.
A box contains 15 counters.
There are 4 red counters, 5 green counters and the rest are yellow counters.
Niklas takes at random a counter from the box and writes down the colour of his counter.
He then puts the counter back into the box.
Sasha then takes at random a counter from the box and writes down the colour of her counter.
Work out the probability that the counters taken by Niklas and Sasha both have the same colour.
...........................................................
Q3.
A bag contains only pink sweets, white sweets, green sweets and red sweets.
The table gives each of the probabilities that, when a sweet is taken at random from the bag, the sweet
will be green or the sweet will be red.

number of pink sweets : number of white sweets = 2 : 1
There are 28 red sweets in the bag.
Work out the number of white sweets in the bag.
