Grade 5 students start probability with a 4-color spinner and a 52-card deck. They write outcomes in three forms: words like 1 out of 6, fractions like 1/4, and percents like 25 percent. Short-answer prompts ask for P(blue) and P(ace) with reasoning. Fill-in-the-blank items reinforce that equal sectors give equal probability and that 1/2 equals 50 percent in this Grade 5 worksheet.

Probability and Statistics
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
The spinner have four equal sector.
Rewrite: The spinner has four equal sectors.
2. Fix the sentence:
There is 26 red cards in the deck.
Rewrite: There are 26 red cards in the deck.
3. Fix the sentence:
One out of six are a small chance.
Rewrite: One out of six is a small chance.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. A spinner has 4 equal colored sectors. The probability of landing on red is 1/4.
2. From a 52-card deck, the probability of drawing a red card is 1/2.
3. The probability of rolling a 6 on a fair number cube can be read as 1 out of 6.
4. Written as a percent, the probability 1/2 equals 50%.
Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
1. A spinner has 4 equal sectors: red, blue, green, yellow. What is P(blue) as a fraction and a percent?
P(blue) = 1/4 = 25% because one of four equal sectors is blue.
2. Out of 52 cards, what is the probability of drawing an ace? Show as a fraction.
There are 4 aces in 52 cards, so P(ace) = 4/52 = 1/13.
