      8.2.1   passed Mathematics?                                                                        (1)

QUESTION 9

9.1   A supermarket conducted a survey on its service to customers. This was done on a
      Wednesday morning. The survey indicated that 78% of the customers were satisfied with
      the service offered and 90% agreed that the supermarket was a stress-free environment to
      do shopping. The total number of customers interviewed was 130.

      9.1.1   Would you agree that the supermarket can regard the findings of the survey as
              reliable? Motivate your answer.                                                        (2)

      9.1.2   Give ONE recommendation to the supermarket on using surveys to gather
              information regarding its customer service.                                            (1)

9.2   Three cards are selected at random (WITHOUT replacement) from a standard full pack of
      playing cards. There are 52 cards in the pack, jokers are excluded.
      Determine the probability that the cards are all the same colour.                              (5)
