Yesterday I was going through some old papers from a kid who was in the MAC (Making a Change) program. I send down a worksheet on Data Analysis and Probability.
Example Question:
"What is the probability you will flip a coin and it will land on heads?"
Example Answer:
"1/2...Because only one side of the coin is heads and there are two sides."
The above is what an answer should look like...This is what I got from baby girl...
- Q: If the probability of having a boyfriend or girlfriend in high school is .52, what is the probability of not having a b/f or g/f?
- A: There will not be a probability

- A: There are not 4

- Q: A card is drawn from a standard deck of cards, replaced, and a second card is drawn. What is the probability the first card drawn will be a king, and the second will be a spade?

- Q: A die is rolled and a card is drawn from a standard deck of cards. What is the probability of rolling an even number and drawing a red card?

MY FAVORITE
- Q: A die is rolled and a card is drawn from a standard deck of 52 cards. Find the probability of rolling an even number and drawing a red card.

With the end of course looming...I shouldn't think this is funny...but it is. Period.
