Question 1

A survey was conducted amongst 60 boys and 60 girls in grade 8 relating to their
participation in sport. 20 girls did not participate in any sport and 50 boys did participate
in a sport.

1.1 Complete a two way contingency table for the above survey. (5)

1.2 What is the probability that if a grade 8 pupil is chosen at random that:

1.2.1 It is a girl and participates in sport? (1)

1.2.2 The pupil does not participate in sport and is not female? (1)

Question 2

2.1 A bag contains 3 blue marbles and 2 red marbles. A marble is taken from the bag, the
colour is recorded and the marble is put aside. A second marble is taken from the bag, the
colour is recorded and then put aside.

2.1.1 Draw a tree diagram to represent the information above. Show the probabilities
(3)
associated with EACH branch, as well as the possible outcomes.
2.1.2 Determine the probability of first taking a red marble and then taking a blue marble, in
(2)
that order.

2.2 A and B are two events. The probability that event A will occur is 0,4 and the probability
that event B will occur is 0,3 . The probability that either event A or event B will occur is
0,58 .
2.2.1 Are events A and B mutually exclusive?
(3)
Justify your answer with appropriate calculations.

2.2.2 Are events A and B independent?

(3)
Justify your answer with appropriate calculations.

3.1 On a flight, passengers could choose between a vegetarian snack and a chicken snack. The
snacks selected by the passengers were recorded. The results are shown in the table
below.

SNACK MALE FEMALE TOTAL

Vegetarian 12 20 32

Chicken 55 63 118

TOTAL 67 83 150

Was the choice of snack on this flight independent of gender? Motivate your answer with
the necessary calculations. (5)

3.2 For any two events, A and B, it is given that P ¿ and B ¿=0 , 12 , P ¿ or B ¿=0 , 83 and
P(B)=4 P( A)

3.2.1 Are events A and B mutually exclusive? Justify your answer. (2)

3.2.2 Calculate P(B) (4)

3.2.3 Calculate P(not ⁡A ). (2)

[13]

Question 4

4.1 For any two events, A and B, it is given that P( A)=0 , 48 and P(B)=0 , 26.
Determine:

4.1.1 P ¿ and B ¿ if A and B are independent events. (2)

4.1.2 P ¿ or B ¿ if A and B are mutually exclusive events. (2)

4.2 A survey was conducted among 130 Grade 11 learners to establish which snack they
prefer to eat while they watch television. The results were summarised in the Venn

diagram below. However, some information is missing.

4.2.1 If 29 learners prefer at least two types of snacks, calculate the value of x and y . (3)

4.2.2 Determine the probability that a learner who does not eat nuts will either have another
snack or no snack while watching television. (3)

Question 5

A group of 200 tourists visited the same restaurant on two consecutive evenings. On both
evenings, the tourists could either choose beef (B) or chicken (C) for their main meal. The
manager observed that 35 % of the tourists chose beef on the first evening and 70 % of
them chose chicken on the second evening.

5.1 Draw a tree diagram to represent the different choices of main meals made on the two
evenings. Show on your diagram the probabilities associated with each branch as well as
all the possible outcomes of the choices. (4)

5.2 Calculate the number of tourists who chose the same main meal on both evenings. (3)

5.3 Show that more tourists opted not to change their choice of main meal during their two
visits to the restaurant. (2)
