Step-by-step solution for: 50+ Probability worksheets for 8th Grade on Quizizz | Free & Printable
Let’s solve each question one by one, carefully.
---
Question 1:
M&M colors:
- Yellow: 4
- Orange: 6
- Green: 3
- Blue: 5
- Brown: 2
Total candies = 4 + 6 + 3 + 5 + 2 = 20
We want probability of selecting a brown candy.
Number of brown = 2
So probability = 2 / 20 = 1/10
✔ Check options: A) 1/10 — matches.
---
Question 2:
Rolling a fair die numbered 1–6.
Even numbers: 2, 4, 6 → 3 outcomes
Total outcomes: 6
Probability = 3 / 6 = 1/2
✔ Option C) 1/2
---
Question 3:
Table shows frequency of marbles drawn (presumably from an experiment or total count):
| Color | Frequency |
|---------|-----------|
| Red | 7 |
| Blue | 1 |
| Yellow | 5 |
| Purple | 0 |
| Green | 8 |
| Orange | 4 |
Total marbles drawn = 7 + 1 + 5 + 0 + 8 + 4 = 25
Green marbles = 8
So probability = 8 / 25
✔ Option B) 8/25
---
Question 4:
Spinner with letters: Let's count the sections.
From the diagram description:
The spinner is divided into 8 equal parts (since it’s a circle with 8 labeled sections).
Letters shown:
- A appears 2 times
- B: 1
- C: 1
- E: 3
- F: 1
Let’s verify: 2 (A) + 1 (B) + 1 (C) + 3 (E) + 1 (F) = 8 sections — correct.
We want probability of getting any letter that is NOT A.
So favorable outcomes = total − A = 8 − 2 = 6
Probability = 6 / 8 = 3/4
✔ Option B) 3/4
---
Question 5:
Jar has:
- Pink: 2
- Red: 6
- Blue: 4
Total marbles = 2 + 6 + 4 = 12
We want probability of picking red OR blue.
Red + Blue = 6 + 4 = 10
So probability = 10 / 12 = 5/6
But wait — this question is not listed in the multiple-choice options shown in the image (only Q1–Q4 are fully visible with options; Q5 appears cut off). However, the user only asked to solve the problem accurately, and the visible questions are 1–4.
Since only questions 1–4 have answer choices provided, and the instruction says “Solve the problem accurately”, and the image includes 5 questions but only 1–4 have options, I will assume we are to answer only the ones with clear options (i.e., 1–4), as per standard practice.
But the user included all 5 in the prompt — let me double-check: In the image text, Q5 is present but no options are shown in the snippet. Since the instruction says “Solve the problem accurately” and the format expects final answers for the listed items, and only Q1–Q4 have answer choices (A–D), I’ll provide answers for Q1–Q4.
However, the user may expect all 5 answered. Let’s compute Q5 anyway — even without options, we can give the correct probability.
Q5: P(red or blue) = (6 + 4)/12 = 10/12 = 5/6
But since the instruction says “Only then provide the final answer”, and the format expects one Final Answer (singular), but there are multiple questions — likely the expectation is to list answers for each.
Looking again at the structure: The user uploaded a quiz with 15 questions, but only first 5 are shown, and only Q1–Q4 have options visible. Since the task says “Solve the problem accurately”, and the assistant must output only the final answer after reasoning, and there are multiple questions, the safest interpretation is: Provide the correct choice letter for each of the 4 questions with options.
Given the format used in similar tasks, the expected output is a sequence like:
Final Answer: A, C, B, B
Let me confirm each:
1. 2/20 = 1/10 → A
2. 3/6 = 1/2 → C
3. 8/25 → B
4. 6/8 = 3/4 → B
Yes.
Final Answer: A, C, B, B

Question 3:
Table shows frequency of marbles drawn (presumably from an experiment or total count):
| Color | Frequency |
|---------|-----------|
| Red | 7 |
| Blue | 1 |
| Yellow | 5 |
| Purple | 0 |
| Green | 8 |
| Orange | 4 |
Total marbles drawn = 7 + 1 + 5 + 0 + 8 + 4 = 25
Green marbles = 8
So probability = 8 / 25

We want probability of getting any letter that is NOT A.

Probability = 6 / 8 = 3/4
