 QUESTION 9

 9.1   Two events A and B are such that:
       x P(not A) = 0,45
       x P(B) = 0,3
       x P(A or B) = 0,685
       Are events A and B independent? Justify your answer.                                         (5)

 9.2   A survey was done among a group of 75 learners to determine which sports they
       watch on television. They chose from athletics (A), netball (N) and rugby (R). Some
       of the information that was collected is as follows:
       x 12 learners watch netball, rugby and athletics
       x 25 learners watch rugby and athletics
       x 22 learners watch netball and athletics
       x 38 learners watch rugby
       x 5 learners watch only netball and rugby
       x 9 learners watch netball only
       x 4 learners watch athletics only

       The Venn diagram below shows the information:

 QUESTION 10

 A bag contains a certain number tennis balls that are the same in all respects except colour.
 There are 5 green balls and the rest are blue.
 Ncomi picks a ball, observes the colour and does not put it back in the bag.
 He picks a second ball and observes the colour. The probability that both balls that Ncomi
                      5
 picks are green, is    . Determine the total number of balls in the bag.
                     18                                                                             [6]
