How to use this Year 8 probability quiz

First, answer every question without a calculator unless the question says so. Then check your answer and read the short explanation.

After that, try the multiple choice questions or the probability: outcomes and sample spaces worksheet.

Finally, take this quiz again before a test, because quick retrieval helps you remember. Moreover, all the pages of this chapter work together, so you can move between them at any time. For example, many pupils read the lesson on Monday, practise on Wednesday and test themselves on Friday.
