2. (4 marks) Define the terms *discrete data* and *continuous data* with examples.
3. (10 marks) The following table shows the test scores of a group of students:

8. (6 marks) A bag contains 4 red balls, 3 blue balls, and 5 green balls. Two balls
are drawn randomly without replacement.
(a) Find the probability of drawing two red balls.
(b) Find the probability of drawing one red ball and one blue ball.
9. (8 marks) A survey shows that 70% of people like coffee, 40% like tea, and 25%
like both. Represent this data in a Venn diagram and calculate:
(a) The probability that a randomly selected person likes only coffee.
(b) The probability that a randomly selected person likes neither coffee nor tea.
10. (10 marks) Events A and B are independent. P(A) = 0.6 and P(B) = 0.4.
(a) Prove independence using the formula P(A∩B)=P(A)P(B).
, ,
(b) Find 𝑃(𝐴 ∪𝐵 ).
11. (12 marks) A factory produces two types of products, A and B. The probability
that a product is defective is 0.02 for A and 0.05 for B.
(a) Construct a probability tree diagram to represent the situation.
(b) If 60% of the products are A and 40% are B, calculate the probability that a
randomly selected defective product is of type A.
12. (14 marks) A student is given 3 questions to answer, and they either know the
answer to the question (probability 0.8) or guess (probability 0.2).
(a) If they guess, the probability of answering correctly is 0.25. Find the overall
probability that the student answers a question correctly. (6 marks)
(b) If the student answers a question correctly, find the probability that they
guessed the answer. (8 marks)
