01. In a bag there are 10 indistinguishable balls by touch, of which 6 are blue and 4 are green. They are removed successively and
Without replacement, two balls are drawn. Determine the probability of drawing two balls of the same color.

Exercise resolution:
Sample space will be 10 balls, in total. To draw 2 balls of the same color, they can both be blue or both

greens. The probability of drawing both blues is The probability of drawing both green is .

Logo, the requested probability is:

A football team is composed of 5 Portuguese players, 3 Brazilian players, 2 Angolan players, and 1 Spanish player. Chosen
a random player has the probability of being:

a) Portuguese is 5. b) European is 0.54 c) Spanish is 1% Angolan is 0.5.

Resolution of the exercise:

The sample space will be: 11 players, total. Since 5 Portuguese and 1 Spanish are Europeans. So:
P = E/A >>>> P = 6/11 >>> P = 0.54

In a class of 28 students, 9 only practice swimming, 12 only practice soccer, and the remaining practice both.
modalities. Choosing a student at random, the probability of:

a) practicing swimming is 4/7. b) practicing swimming is 9/28.

c) practicing soccer is 12/28. not practicing swimming is 19/28.

Resolution of the exercise:

the two modalities: 28 - 9 - 12 = 28 - 21 = 7
swimming: 9 + 7 = 16
probabilidade : p = 16/28 = 4/7

In the bag, there are blue and red balls, totaling 50 balls. Knowing that the probability of drawing a blue ball is
0.34 we can conclude that the number of red balls is:

33. 16. c) 25. d) 17.

Resolution of the exercise:

Let's call "a" the number of blue balls and "v" the quantity of red balls in this bag. Since there are 50
Total balls, we have: a + v = 50. Additionally, we know that the probability of drawing a blue ball is 0.34.

Since there are blue balls among 50, we can affirm that, .

So, we concluded that, .

Remembering that , we have , where .

Look, the number of red balls in this bag is .

In the jar, we have 17 lemon candies, 5 orange candies, and 10 menthol candies. They are removed successively and without replacement.
3 candies. Knowing that the first two are lemon, choose the correct option:

a) the probability of the third being orange is 5/32.

b) the probability of the third being lemon is 17/30.
c) the probability of the third being orange is 3/30.
d) the probability of the third being lemon is 1/2.

Resolution of the exercise:

Removing the first 2 candies that are lemon, there are only 15 lemon candies left. Adding the others, there are 30 candies in total.
As a whole, and if there is still one candy left to take, it will be 1 in 30, meaning that from the options, the only correct one is the
lemon, as it occupies 15 out of 30 chances, that is, half: 1/2

05. 200 people were asked if they watched soap operas. The results were recorded in the table:

A person is chosen at random:

a) P ( " being a man " ) = 80
P ( 'being a woman or watching soap operas' ) = 17/20
c) P ( " não ser mulher " ) = 60%
P ( " not being a woman nor watching soap operas " ) = 2/5

Resolution of the exercise:

200 people ----- 100%
120 women ----- X %
X = 120 . 100 / 200
X = 60%

In a pocket, there are 2 coins of 20 cents and two coins of 50 cents. One coin is taken out.
Perhaps, and then a second coin is taken without replacing the first. We can affirm that:

a) The probability of the two coins being 20 cents is 1/6.

b) The probability of having different values is 4/15.
c) The probability of both being 50 cents is 1/15.
The probability of both being 20 cents is 1/3.

Resolution of the exercise: Analyzing the combinations of Men and Women, we will have.

20 cents . = = e 50 cents . = =

Logo:+ ==
07.A couple is thinking of having 3 children. Assuming that the probability of having a boy is equal to the probability of having a girl.
girl, we can affirm that:

a) the probability that all three are boys is 1/2.

b) the probability of having two boys and one girl is 30%
c) the probability that the two oldest are of the same sex is 1/4.
d) the probability that they are not all of the same sex is 3/4.

Resolution of the exercise: Analyzing the combinations of Men and Women, we will have.
HHH HHM
HMH MHH Logo: P = 2/8 >>> P = 1/4
MMH MHM It couldn't be: HHH or MMM because the third would have the same sex.
MMM HMM
08. The T class of a certain school has twenty-three students, numbered in a list from 1 to 23. In some classes, the
students are divided into two shifts: students with odd numbers belong to the first shift and the remaining students
belong to the second shift. A student from the first shift is chosen at random. What is the probability that the student
chosen to have a number in the list greater than 17?

a) 1/3 b) 1/4 c) 1/6 d) 1/7

Resolution of the exercise:

Data:
23 students
1st shift { 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23} = 12 students
2º turno = 11 alunos

Higher than 17 from the first round {19,21,23}

P = 3 favorable cases / 12 possible cases
P= 3/12
P = 1/4

In the first half of March, 100 tourists stayed at the Paraiso hotel: 40 Portuguese and 60 foreigners.

The following graph shows the distribution of foreign tourists by nationality. If one is chosen at random,
100 tourists staying at the Paraiso hotel in the first half of March. What is the probability that the chosen tourist...
be French?

16% 18% c) 22% 24%

Resolution of the exercise:

Since there are 100 tourists in total = 40 Portuguese + 60 foreigners, we have 60 foreigners to be.
distributed in percentage, thus:
50% Spaniards = 30 people
30% of French foreigners = 18
20% of the English foreigners = 12
Then the foreigners will be: 18% >>>> 18 out of 100 is 18%

10. João has 9 balls numbered from 1 to 9 in a bag. The balls are indistinguishable by touch. João randomly takes out one.
sack ball. What is the probability that the ball drawn has a number that has exactly two divisors?

2/9 b) 3/9 c) 4/9 5/9

Resolution of the exercise:

We know that numbers that have only two divisors are called prime numbers:
(1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7; 8; 9) of which are primes: (2; 3; 5; 7)
P = 4/7

A certain set of playing cards consists of twelve red cards and some black cards. Choose-

How many are there in this deck?

a) 3 b) 4 c) 6 d) 9
Solution of the exercise:
We have a total of 12 (red) + X black cards. If the chance of being red is 75%, then 12 is the
red about the total, which is:
12 + X = 0.75
12 / (12+x) = 0,75
0.75 * (12 + x) = 12
x=4
