1.2.1. Write down the sum rule for mutually exclusive events (1)
1.2.2. If P(A) = 0,28 and P(A or B) = 0,43, determine P(B) (3)

1.3. Given two events A and B. Determine whether A and B are mutually exclusive
and/or independent if given that P(A) = 0,7, P(B) = 0,3 and P(A and B) =0,21.
Explain how you determined your answers (5)

1.4. Let A and B be two events in a sample space. Suppose that P(A) = 0,4; P(A or B) = 0,7
and P(B) = k.
1.4.1 For what value of k are A and B mutually exclusive? (2)
1.4.2 For what value of k are A and B independent? (4)

Question 3

In a survey 1 530 skydivers were asked if they had broken a limb. The results of the survey
were as follows:
Broken a limb Not broken a limb TOTAL

Male 463 b 782

Female a c d
TOTAL 913 617 1 530
3.1 Calculate the values of a, b, c and d. (4)
3.2 Calculate the probability of choosing at random in the survey, a female skydiver who
has not broken a limb. (2)
3.2 Is being a female skydiver and having broken a limb independent? Use calculations,
correct to 3 decimal places, to justify your answer. (4)

Question 4

Figures obtained from a city’s police department seem to indicate that all of the motor
vehicles stolen, 70% were stolen by syndicates to be sold off and 30% by individual persons
for their own use.
Of those vehicles presumed stolen by syndicates:
 10% were recovered within 24 hours
 30% were recovered after 24 hours
 60% were never recovered

Of those vehicles presumed stolen by individual persons:

 30% were recovered within 24 hours
 40% were recovered after 24 hours
 30% were never recovered

4.1 Draw a tree diagram for the above information (6)

4.2. Calculate the probability that if a vehicle were stolen in this city, it would be stolen by
a syndicate and recovered within 24 hours (2)
4.3 Calculate the probability that a vehicle stolen in this city will not be recovered (2)
