 Number of students 60 5644  40
 Percentage (%) with glasses 10% 12.5% 25% 17.5
  1. A student is chosen at random from the school.
    Determine the:
    1. probability that the student is in form 4. 
    2. probability that the student wears glasses. 
  2. Two students are chosen at random from the school.

  1.  
    1. P(F4)= 40  = 0.2
                 200
    2. P(s)=p(F1s or F2s or F3s or F4s)
      = (0.3 x 0.1) + (0.28 x 0.125) + (0.22 x 0.75) + (0.4 x 0.175)
      = 0.265
    3.    
      1. P(F1 &F4) = 2(0.3 x 0.2)
        = 3  or 0.12
          25
      2. P(F1s & F4s OR F4S & F1s)
        = 2(0.3 x 0.1 x 0.2 x 0.175)
        = 0.13
