1 Probability 

A die is thrown twice. The probability of the sum being odd, is
 
1) 1 / 2
2) 1 / 3
3) 1 / 4
4) 1 / 6 

2 Probability 

Two dice are tossed. The  probability that the  total sum is a prime number is:  
 
1) 1 / 6
2) 5 / 12
3) 1 / 2
4) 7 / 9 

3 Probability 

A die is thrown twice. Then the probability that 5 will come up at least once is  
 
1) 11/ 36
2) 7 / 36
3) 5 / 36 
4) 0 

4 Probability

1) 3 / 20
2) 29 / 34
3) 47 / 100
4) 13 / 102 

5 Probability 

The king, queen and jack of hearts are removed from a deck of 52 playing cards and then wellshuffled. One card is selected from the remaining cards. Then the probability of getting a king is

2)  2 / 49
3)  3 / 49 
4) 1 

6 Probability
