    Probability: Independence, Conditional Probability and Fair Decisions – Geometry math quiz

    This geometry probability quiz asks 10 multiple-choice questions on probability: independence, conditional probability and fair decisions, and each answer comes with a short explanation.

    Ten multiple-choice questions check the main probability ideas: Venn diagrams, independence, conditional probability from tables, counting, fair choices and medical-test reasoning. Each question has exactly one correct answer.

    Question 2

    A die is rolled. What is the complement of the event “at least 3”?

    A Rolling a 1 or a 2
    B Rolling a 1, 2 or 3

    Question 3

    For events A and B, \(P(A)=0.5,\ P(B)=0.4\) and \(P(A\text{ and }B)=0.2\). Which statement is true?

    A A and B are not independent because 0.5 + 0.4 ≠ 0.2
    B A and B are independent because 0.5 × 0.4 = 0.2
    C A and B are mutually exclusive because 0.2 is small
    D A and B are not independent because P(A and B) ≠ 0
    Question 4

    How does this quiz work?

    Read each question, choose one answer among A, B, C and D, then check it: a short explanation appears after every answer. Your score out of 10 is shown at the end, and you can restart the quiz as often as you like.

    What should you review before the quiz?

    Reread the key facts of the lesson and the worked example. If a question is hard, go back to the matching part of the lesson, then try the quiz again. Write your work on scrap paper: most mistakes come from skipping a step, not from the idea itself.

    Remember:

    • Addition rule: P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A and B); complement: P(not A) = 1 – P(A).
    • Independent events satisfy P(A and B) = P(A)P(B), which is the same as P(A given B) = P(A).
    • Conditional probability: P(A given B) = P(A and B) / P(B); general multiplication rule: P(A and B) = P(B)P(A given B).
    • Permutations count ordered selections, nPr = n!/(n-r)!; combinations count unordered ones, nCr = n!/(r!(n-r)!).
    • A random decision is fair when every choice has the same probability; natural frequencies make medical-test probabilities clear.
