The diagram below shows a network of tracks (represented by edges) between checkpoints The map of Australia shows the six states, the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory
(represented by vertices) in a short-distance running course. The numbers on the edges indicate the (ACT).
time, in minutes, a team would take to run along each track.

A challenge requires teams to run from checkpoint to checkpoint using these tracks.
What would be the shortest possible time for a team to run from checkpoint to checkpoint ?
Mark the shortest route on the diagram below. (2 marks)

In the network diagram below, each of the vertices to represents one of the states or territories
shown on the map of Australia. The edges represent a border shared between two states or between
a state and a territory.

i. In the network diagram, what is the order of the vertex that represents the Australian Capital
Territory (ACT)? (1 mark)
ii. In the network diagram, Queensland is represented by which letter? Explain why. (2 marks)

Consider the network pictured below. The numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are each written on separate cards.
Amy has cards 1, 3 and 5 and Bob has cards 2, 4 and 6.
They play a game in which each person randomly chooses one of their own cards and compares it
with the other person's card. The person with the higher card wins.
a. A partially completed tree diagram is shown.

Find the length of the shortest path from A to E. (2 marks)

Complete the tree diagram and find the probability that Bob wins. (2 marks)

b. Suppose Amy and Bob play this game 30 times.

How many times would Bob be expected to win? (1 mark)

In an experiment, two unbiased dice, with faces numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 are rolled 18 times.
The difference between the numbers on their uppermost faces is recorded each time. Juan performs
this experiment twice and his results are shown in the tables.

Juan states that Experiment 2 has given results that are closer to what he expected than the results
given by Experiment 1.
Is he correct? Explain your answer by finding the sample space for the dice differences and using
theoretical probability. (4 marks)
