food?
Sure to happen May happen Cannot happen
B. Will the ice in the halo-halo, melt if it is not
eaten quickly
Sure to happen May happen Cannot happen

5. What is the probability that the weight of the
student
a. is from 40 – 54kg b. is 55kg and above
c. belongs to the class interval 45 – 49kg

10 years old or more and 50% of the group are females.
Age Male Female Total
< 10 43 32 75
≥ 10 7 18 25
Total 50 50 100

d. male and female e. female and at most 9
Counting:
To get to school from home, Rochelle can either walk
or take a jeepneC ride. If she chooses to ride, there are
three possible routes she can use. If she walks, there
are four routes she can take.
7a. How many possible routes are there for her trip to
school from home?
7b. Name two events that are impossible to happen at
the same time.
7c. In how many ways can she go to school if she
chooses to walk?
7d. What is the probability that she chooses to ride?
7e. What is the probability that she chooses to walk in
one of the 4 routes?
Fundamental Principle of Counting (FPC):
8. What is the chance of getting 3 heads when
tossing a fair coin thrice?
Kitty has pink and red skirts and black, white, blue
and green blouses.
9a. In how many ways can she choose a skirt and then a
blouse?
What is the probability that she randomly chooses a
9b. pink skirt and then a blue blouse?
9c. red skirt and then either a white, black or green
blouse?

Permutation:
11. If repetition is not allowed, in how many ways
can we arrange 1, 2, 3 and 4

Consider the letters A, B, C, D, E, F and G.
12a. Give the arrangement consisting of 3 letters each
that can be formed from the seven letters.
12b. What is the probability that a randomly selected 3
letter arrangement is A B C?
