2 In a game of Galactic Unicorns your Monocerian-class frigate is attacking an evil Sargonian
robot ship.

Your attack will either hit or miss the robot ship, the probability of hitting the robot ship is 0.7.

If you hit the robot ship then there is a probability of 0.8 that the ship will be destroyed,
otherwise it will escape.

If you miss the robot ship then there is a probability of 0.2 that it will manage to escape,
otherwise it will surrender because it has witnessed the immense power of your rainbow lasers.

(a) Draw a tree diagram to represent the information above. [3]

(b) Find the proability that the robot ship:

(i) survives [1]

5 Three families, the Koothrappalis, the Hofstadters and the Coopers, go to the cinema together
to watch a star trek film. Mr and Mrs Koothrappali take their son Rajesh, Mr and Mrs
Hofstadter take their sons Leonard and Michael, and Mrs Cooper takes her children Sheldon,
Georgie and Missy. The families occupy a single row with eleven seats.

(a) The group travels in three different cars to the cinema, with two cars having seats for 4
people and one car having seating for 3 people.

These cars are driven by Mr Koothrappali, Mr Hofstadters and Mrs Cooper.
