You can put this solution on YOUR website! A quiz show uses a basket containing 12 balls numbered 1 through 12 for selecting prizes. A ball is selected at random.
How many outcomes are possible:: 12
-------------------------------
Construct the sample space for this experiment::1,2,3,4...10,11,12
-------------------------------
What is the probability that the 10 ball is chosen:: 1/12
-------------------------------
What is the probability that a ball with an even number is chosen:: 6/12 = 1/2
---------------------------------
What is the probability that a number greater than 5 is chosen:: 7/12
-------------------------------------------------------
What is the probability that a number less than 13 is chosen:: 1
--------------------------------
What are the odds that an even numbered ball will be chosen:: 6:6 or 1:1
