What is the smallest possible value of a probability, and what does it mean?

0 — the event is impossible

1 — the event is certain

-1 — the event is negative

A fair die has sample space {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. How many outcomes are in the sample space, n(E)?

If P(A) = 1/4, what is P(not A) using the complement rule 1 − P(A)?

A fair die is rolled once. What is P(rolling a 5)? Give your answer as a fraction.

A fair die is rolled once. What is P(rolling a prime number)?

4/6, counting 1, 2, 3, 5 as the primes

3/6, counting only 2, 3, 5 as the primes, since 1 is not prime

2/6, counting only 2 and 3 as the primes

A fair die is rolled once. What is P(rolling a multiple of 3)? Give your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Express the probability 3/10 as a decimal.
