How Conditional Probability in Context Techniques works
Probability measures how likely something is, from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain). P(event) = favourable outcomes ÷ total outcomes. For independent events, multiply.

Show answers and working
1. P(red) = 5/9
Total counters = 9. P(red) = 5/9 = 5/9.
2. P(red) = 7/16
Total counters = 16. P(red) = 7/16 = 7/16.
3. P(red) = 8/15
Total counters = 15. P(red) = 8/15 = 8/15.
4. P(red) = 3/7
Total counters = 14. P(red) = 6/14 = 3/7.
5. P(red) = 5/11, P(not red) = 6/11
Total counters = 11. P(red) = 5/11 = 5/11. P(not red) = 1 − 5/11 = 6/11.
6. P(red) = 5/13, P(not red) = 8/13
Total counters = 13. P(red) = 5/13 = 5/13. P(not red) = 1 − 5/13 = 8/13.
7. P(red) = 7/12, P(not red) = 5/12
Total counters = 12. P(red) = 7/12 = 7/12. P(not red) = 1 − 7/12 = 5/12.
8. P(red) = 2/9, P(not red) = 7/9
Total counters = 9. P(red) = 2/9 = 2/9. P(not red) = 1 − 2/9 = 7/9.
9. 16/81
P(red) = 4/9 each time. Independent, so multiply: 4/9 × 4/9 = 16/81.
10. 16/25
P(red) = 8/10 each time. Independent, so multiply: 8/10 × 8/10 = 16/25.
11. 36/49
P(red) = 6/7 each time. Independent, so multiply: 6/7 × 6/7 = 36/49.
12. 16/49
P(red) = 4/7 each time. Independent, so multiply: 4/7 × 4/7 = 16/49.
Worked examples
A bag has 3 red, 8 blue and 0 green counters. One is picked at random. Find P(red).
- Total counters = 11.
- P(red) = 3/11 = 3/11.
- Answer: P(red) = 3/11
A bag has 6 red, 3 blue and 4 green counters. One is picked at random. Find P(red) and P(not red).
- Total counters = 13.
- P(red) = 6/13 = 6/13.
- P(not red) = 1 − 6/13 = 7/13.
- Answer: P(red) = 6/13, P(not red) = 7/13
A bag has 4 red and 1 blue counters. Two are picked with replacement. Find P(both red).
- P(red) = 4/5 each time.
- Independent, so multiply: 4/5 × 4/5 = 16/25.
- Answer: 16/25

Common mistakes
What learners typically get wrong, and how to fix it.
Writes probability as a ratio like 3:5.
Correction: Use a fraction, decimal or percentage.
Adds probabilities for 'and' events.
Correction: 'And' means multiply when events are independent.
