O-Level Additional Mathematics Quiz - Statistics Probability (Answer Key)

Total Marks: 40
Level: O-Level Additional Mathematics
Note: Syllabus-first generated practice. Not past-year derived.

---

Section A (1 mark each)

1. Probability = $\frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}$.
Teaching note: Even numbers on a die are 2, 4, 6 → 3 outcomes out of 6 equally likely.
Mark: 1

2. $P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) = 0.3 + 0.4 = 0.7$.
Teaching note: Mutually exclusive means no overlap, so union is sum.
Mark: 1

3. $P(\text{red}) = \frac{5}{12}$.
Teaching note: 5 red out of total 12 marbles.
Mark: 1

4. $P(X \cup Y) = P(X) + P(Y) - P(X \cap Y) = 0.5 + 0.3 - 0.1 = 0.7$.
Teaching note: Inclusion-exclusion avoids double counting intersection.
Mark: 1

5. Sample space = {HH, HT, TH, TT} → 4 outcomes.
Teaching note: Each toss 2 outcomes, $2^2 = 4$.
Mark: 1

6. $P(M \cap N) = P(M) \times P(N) = 0.6 \times 0.5 = 0.3$.
Teaching note: Independent events multiply probabilities.
Mark: 1

7. Total students = 28; coffee = 6 + 4 = 10; $P = \frac{10}{28} = \frac{5}{14}$.
Teaching note: Add coffee column, divide by grand total.
Mark: 1

8. Numbers >2: 3,4 → 2 out of 4 → $P = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}$.
Mark: 1

---

Section B (2 marks each)

9. Total balls = 10. $P(\text{first white}) = \frac{5}{10}$; second = $\frac{4}{9}$.
$P = \frac{5}{10} \times \frac{4}{9} = \frac{20}{90} = \frac{2}{9}$.
Teaching note: Without replacement reduces denominator and white count.
Mark: 2 (1 for method, 1 for answer)

10. $P(\text{B or S}) = \frac{25+30-10}{80} = \frac{45}{80} = \frac{9}{16}$.
Teaching note: Union formula on counts.
Mark: 2 (1 method, 1 answer)

11. Outcomes: 8. Exactly 2 heads: HHT, HTH, THH → 3. $P = \frac{3}{8}$.
Teaching note: Binomial: $\binom{3}{2}(\frac{1}{2})^3 = \frac{3}{8}$.
Mark: 2 (1 list, 1 answer)

12. Independent: $P(A \cap B) = P(A)P(B)$ → $0.16 = 0.4 \times P(B)$ → $P(B) = 0.4$.
Mark: 2 (1 eqn, 1 ans)

13. $P(\text{no rain}) = 0.8$ each day. Two days: $0.8 \times 0.8 = 0.64$.
Mark: 2 (1 each)

14. Total 20, choose 2: $\binom{20}{2}=190$. Girls: $\binom{8}{2}=28$. $P = \frac{28}{190} = \frac{14}{95}$.
Mark: 2 (1 combo, 1 simplify)

---

Section C (3 marks each)

15. Total ways $\binom{10}{2}=45$. One red one blue: $4 \times 6 = 24$. $P = \frac{24}{45} = \frac{8}{15}$.
Teaching note: Multiply counts for one of each, divide by total pairs.
Mark: 3 (1 total, 1 fav, 1 ans)

16. $P(C \cup M) = \frac{20+15-5}{50} = \frac{30}{50} = 0.6$.
Neither = $1 - 0.6 = 0.4$.
Mark: 3 (1 union, 1 neither, 1 correct vals)

17. Exactly one: pass1 fail2 + fail1 pass2 = $0.7\times0.4 + 0.3\times0.6 = 0.28+0.18 = 0.46$.
Mark: 3 (1 breakdown, 2 calc)

18. Pairs sum 6: (1,5),(2,4),(3,3),(4,2),(5,1) but without replacement excludes same ticket; valid: (1,5),(2,4),(4,2),(5,1) = 4 of 20 pairs. $P = \frac{4}{20} = \frac{1}{5}$.
Mark: 3 (1 total, 1 fav, 1 ans)

19. At least 3: scores 3,4 → freq 3+2=5 of 12. $P = \frac{5}{12}$.
Mark: 3 (1 identify, 1 total, 1 ans)

20. Sample space: {BB, BG, GB, GG}. At least one boy: 3 of 4 → $P = \frac{3}{4}$.
Mark: 3 (1 space, 1 count, 1 ans)
