5) S1 Probability Questions

This document discusses probability concepts using a housing estate example. It provides a Venn diagram showing the number of households that fall into different categories based on whether they have a driveway (D), number of cars (X=0, Y=1, Z=2). It asks to calculate several probabilities from the diagram, determine if two events are independent, and define combinations of events.
