QUESTION 9
Jeremy enters the quiz show, "WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE?"
The objective is to answer consecutive questions correctly in order to win one million
rand. A contestant’s turn ends when a question is answered INCORRECTLY.
Contestants may choose to answer the questions themselves or use a lifeline for
assistance. A lifeline may only be used ONCE and it must be used within the first 3
rounds of questions.
On the first attempt:
• The probability that Jeremy answers the question Correctly (C) on his own is 0,7.
• The probability that Jeremy answers the question Incorrectly (I) is 0,1.
• The probability that Jeremy uses a Lifeline (L) is 0,2.
• If Jeremy uses a lifeline, the probability that the lifeline produces the correct answer
is 0,9.
9.1 Draw tree diagrams to represent the given information for 2 rounds of questions. (2)
9.2 Determine the probability that Jeremy will, unassisted, answer the first TWO
questions correctly. (2)
9.3 Determine the probability that Jeremy answers the FIRST question correctly. (3)
