An experiment is setup to first roll a die, followed by spinning a spinner. As shown, the die is a six-sided die and the spinner has four equal divisions labeled 1, 2, 3 and 4. Set A will contain all possibilities of the die rolling an even number and the spinner showing 4. Set B will contain all possibilities of the die and the spinner showing the same value. Find the probability of an outcome belonging to set but not in set B.

 

 

5.

8.
Two six-sided die are rolled. Considering all possible outcomes, what is the probability that the two rolled numbers have a product that is odd?

 

 

9.
In a class of 50 students, 18 take Chorus, 26 take Band, and 2 take both Chorus and Band. What is the probability that a student in the class is not enrolled in either Chorus or Band?
