Sample Space Tree Diagrams
Section A Dice Probability
1) Two fair dice are thrown and the
scores are ADDED together.
• Complete the sample space diagram
• How many outcomes are there?
• What is the probability of getting
a score of ‘5’?
• What is the probability of getting
a score greater than ‘9’?
• What is the probability of getting
a score less than ‘7’?
2) Two fair dice are thrown and the
scores are MULTIPLIED together.
• Complete the sample space diagram
• How many outcomes are there?
• What is the probability of getting
a score of ‘6’?
• What is the probability of getting
a score greater than ‘16’?
• What is the probability of getting
a score less than ‘4’?
3) A six-faced dice and a four-faced
dice are thrown. The first score is
SUBTRACTED FROM the second First Score
score.
• Complete the sample space diagram
Second Score
• How many outcomes are there?
• What is the probability of getting
a negative score?
• What is the probability of getting
a score ≥ 0?

2) A fair dice and a coin are thrown together.
a. Draw a sample space diagram to represent the possible outcomes.
b. What is the probability of getting an even number and a tails?
3) A game is played using the counters inside two bags.
Bag 1 contains a green, purple and an orange counter.
Bag 2 contains 3 counters with the numbers 4, 5 and 6 on them.
a. Draw a sample space diagram to show all the possible outcomes when one
counter is taken from each bag.
b. What is probability of someone picking a green counter and the number 4?
c. Find the probability of taking an orange counter and a number greater than 4.
