                                   7. The type of probability that uses sample spaces is called

                                       a. Classical probability
                                       b. Empirical probability
                                       c. Subjective probability
                                       d. Relative probability

                                   8. When an event is certain to occur, its probability is
                                       a. 0
                                       b. 1

                                   9. When two coins are tossed, the sample space is

                                       a. H, T
                                       b. HH, HT, TT
                                       c. HH, HT, TH, TT
                                       d. H, T and HT


                                  10. When a die is rolled, the probability of getting a number greater
                                       than 4 is
                                           1
                                       a.

                                  11. When two coins are tossed, the probability of getting 2 tails is
                                           1
                                       a.
