1. Consider two normal packs of cards, Pack A and Pack B, each of which contain 4
suits Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, and Clubs with each suit comprising 13
cards Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, , 2.
You decide to develop a gambling game based on Packs A and B, Gamblers pay
R1 to draw 2 cards from each pack. You pay out R10 000 if they draw 4 Aces or
R10 if they draw 4 cards of the same suit.
1.1. What is the probability that you will pay out on any R1 bet? (8)
1.2. If one million R1 bets are placed in a year, how much profit could you
reasonably expect to make? Show all your working. (11)

3.2. Use the Venn Diagram, or otherwise, and write down the probability that:

bulls eye is 0.9? (10)

4. An electrical company is selling a large number of solar panels (>1000) to the
Eastern Cape Government for installation in the rural areas as a source of
electricity. Due to the difficulties in the manufacturing process, 5% of these panels
turn out to be defective. Before the consignment is accepted by the Government, a
sample of 15 panels is tested and the number of defective panels counted. If more
than 2 of these 15 panels are defective, the consignment is rejected. What is the
probability of the consignment being rejected? [14]

6. A certain make of car tyre can be safely used for 30 000km on average before it is
replaced. The makers guarantee to pay compensation to anyone whose tyre does
not last for 25 000km. They expect 6% of all tyres sold to qualify for
compensation. Assume that the distance in km, X, travelled before a tyre is
replaced has a Normal distribution.
6.1. Draw a sketch illustrating the above information. (6)
6.2. Calculate, to the nearest km, the standard deviation of X. (6)
6.3. Estimate the number of tyres per 1000, which will not need to be replaced
before 32 000km. (6)
