Probability Basics Differentiated Worksheet
Read each question carefully. Give fractions in simplest form where possible.
Probability Language
1.Match each event to its best probability description: a standard six-sided die shows 2; a standard six-sided die shows 9; a standard six-sided die shows a number from 1 to 6; the next day is rainy; a fair coin lands heads.
- A standard six-sided die shows 2

Probability Scale and Calculations
4.Fill in the missing values on this equally spaced probability scale.
5.A fair six-sided die has faces numbered 1 to 6. What is the probability of rolling an odd number? Give your answer as a fraction.
6.One letter is selected at random from the letters A, B, C, D and E. What is the probability of selecting a vowel? Give your answer as a fraction.
7.A fair coin is tossed once. What is the probability it lands tails? Give your answer as a fraction.
8.A spinner has 10 equal sections: 4 purple, 3 orange, 2 teal and 1 white. What is the probability of landing on purple? Give your answer as a fraction in simplest form.
9.For the spinner with 4 purple, 3 orange, 2 teal and 1 white equal section, which colour is most likely to come up?
10.For that same spinner, find the probability of landing on orange or teal. Give your answer as a fraction in simplest form.
Challenge Questions
11.A pouch holds 4 red, 5 blue and 3 yellow beads. One bead is selected at random. Find the probability it is not blue. Show your working.
