Downloaded from hlayiso.com MATHEMATICS 10 (PAPER 1) GRADE 11 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) [7] QUESTION 10 10.1 The events A, B and C are such: • A and B are independent. • B and C are independent. • A and C are mutually exclusive. • Their probabilities are P(A) = 0,3 , P(B) = 0,4 and P(C) = 0,2. Calculate the probability of the following events occurring: 10.1.1 Both A and C occur. (1) 10.1.2 Both B and C occur. (2) 10.1.3 At least ONE of A or B occurs. (4) P.T.O.
