  1. 1
    In a Venn diagram, set A represents students who like tennis and set B represents students who like swimming, within a universal set of 40 students. Region A only contains 12 students, region B only contains 9 students, and region A∩B (both) contains 6 students.
    (a)
    How many students, out of the 40, like neither tennis nor swimming?

    (b)
    What is the probability that a randomly selected student likes both tennis and swimming?

    (c)
    What is the probability that a randomly selected student likes tennis only (not swimming)?

  2. 2
    A box contains 4 red pens and 6 blue pens. Two pens are selected at random, one after another, without replacement.
    (a)
    Using a tree-diagram approach, find the probability that both pens selected are red.
    [2 marks]
    (b)
    Using a tree-diagram approach, find the probability that the first pen is blue and the second pen is red.

  3. 3
    A spinner has independent probability 0.3 of landing on red on each spin. The spinner is spun twice.
    (a)
    Using a tree-diagram approach, find the probability of getting at least one red on the two spins.
    [3 marks]
    (b)
    Find the probability of getting exactly one red on the two spins.

  4. 4
    A company tests 200 products for two defects, A and B. From a Venn diagram: 15 products have defect A only, 10 have defect B only, 5 have both defects, and the rest have neither defect.
    (a)
    Find the number of products with neither defect, and hence find the probability that a randomly selected product has no defect.
    [4 marks]
    (b)
    Given that a defective product (one with at least one defect) is selected at random, find the probability that it has both defects.
    [4 marks]
    (c)
    Two products are selected at random, without replacement, from the 200 products. Using a tree-diagram approach, find the probability that both products have no defect at all. Give your answer to 3 significant figures.
