    In a survey in XS-Nuvali, 80 students were asked “Do you prefer computer games or playing sports?”. The results are
    partially displayed in the following table.

    Girls Boys Total


    Computer games 10 12
    Sports
    Total 36

    (a) Complete the table of values. [6 marks]


    (b) Find the probability that a student selected at random [3 marks]
    i. prefers to play sports
    ii. prefers to play sports, given that the student is a girl
    iii. is a boy, given that the student prefers to play sports.

    (a) Jar A contains 3 red marbles and 5 green marbles. Two marbles are drawn from the jar, one after the other,
    without replacement. Find the probability that:

    i. none of the marbles are green; [2 marks]

    ii. exactly one marble is green. [3 marks]

    (b) Jar B contains six red marbles and two green marbles. A fair six-sided die is tossed. If the score is 1 or 2, a marble
    is drawn from Jar A. Otherwise, a marble is drawn from Jar B.

    i. Write down the probability that the marble is drawn from Jar B. [1 mark]

    ii. Given that the marble was drawn from Jar B, write down the probability that it is red. [3 marks]

    iii. Given that the marble is red, find the probability that it is drawn from Jar A. [4 marks]
