306 Quantitative Reasoning Module 4 1. A card is drawn at random from a standard 52-card deck. Find the probability that the card is not a queen. Number of cards= 52 Number of queens = 4 Number of non-queens = 52- 4 = 48 Probability of drawing a non-queen is 48/52 or 12/13 2. Two fair dice are rolled. Find the probability that the sum of the two numbers is not greater than 5. Total number of possible combinations is 36, highlighted ones have totals of 5 or less. There are 10 of them. The probability is therefore, 10/36 or 5/18. 1-1 1-2 1-3 1-4 1-5 1-6 2-1 2-2 2-3 2-4 2-5 2-6 3-1 3-2 3-3 3-4 3-5 3-6 4-1 4-2 4-3 4-4 4-5 4-6 5-1 5-2 5-3 5-4 5-5 5-6 6-1 6-2 6-3 6-4 6-5 6-6 3. This spinner is spun 36 times. The spinner landed on A 6 times, on B 21 times, and on C 9 times. Compute the empirical probability that the spinner will land on B. Empirical probability is the probability observed through observation. The number of Bs in 36 spins was 21. Therefore, the empirical probability is 21/36 or 7/12 4. If a person is randomly selected, find the probability that his or her birthday is not in May. Ignore leap years. 1 year = 365 days. May has 31 days. 365-31= 334 days. Therefore, the probability of a birthday not in may is 334/365. 5. The chart below gives the number of vehicle tags sold in each city. One car is selected at random from the cars with vehicle tags from these cities. What is the probability that this car is
