2. This question paper consists of 4 questions.
3. Answer ALL the questions.
4. Clearly show ALL calculations, diagrams, graphs, et cetera that you have used in determining your
answers.
5. Answers only will NOT necessarily be awarded full marks.
6. You may use an approved scientific calculator (non-programmable and non-graphical), unless stated
otherwise.
7. If necessary, round off answers to TWO decimal places, unless stated otherwise.

Question 1

1.1 For two events A and B, it is given that P( A)=0 ,30 ; P(B)=0 , 65 and P ¿ or B ¿=0 , 74 .

1.1.1 Calculate P ¿ and B ¿. (2)

1.1.2 Hence, represent the above information in a Venn diagram. (4)

1.1.3 Are the events A and B mutually exclusive? Give a reason. (2)

1.2 In a random physical sciences experiment, A and B are two different events. It was found
that:

1.2.1 Calculate:
(a) P(B) (2)
(b) P ¿ and B ¿ (3)

1.2.2 Hence, determine whether events A and B are mutually exclusive. Motivate your answer. (2)

Question 4

A circular spinner is divided into 12 equal sectors. Each sector is numbered from 1 to 12 .
When spun, the spinner has an equal chance of stopping at any of the numbers 1 to 12.

4.1 For any random spin, what is the probability that the spinner will stop at a square

number?

4.2 The number that the spinner stopped at after the first spin was recorded. The number
that the spinner stopped at after the second spin was also recorded. Calculate the
probability that the sum of the two numbers at which the spinner stopped is greater than
2.
