1 A fair red spinner has edges numbered 1, 2, 2, 3. A fair blue spinner has edges numbered −3, −2, −1, −1.
Each spinner is spun once and the number on the edge on which each spinner lands is noted. The
random variable X denotes the sum of the resulting two numbers.

(a) Draw up the probability distribution table for X . [3]

6 Janice is playing a computer game. She has to complete level 1 and level 2 to finish the game. She is
allowed at most two attempts at any level.
• For level 1, the probability that Janice completes it at the first attempt is 0.6. If she fails at her first
attempt, the probability that she completes it at the second attempt is 0.3.
• If Janice completes level 1, she immediately moves on to level 2.
• For level 2, the probability that Janice completes it at the first attempt is 0.4. If she fails at her first
attempt, the probability that she completes it at the second attempt is 0.2.

(a) Show that the probability that Janice moves on to level 2 is 0.72. [1]

6 Sajid is practising for a long jump competition. He counts any jump that is longer than 6 m as a success.
On any day, the probability that he has a success with his first jump is 0.2. For any subsequent jump,
the probability of a success is 0.3 if the previous jump was a success and 0.1 otherwise. Sajid makes
three jumps.

5 A game is played with an ordinary fair 6-sided die. A player throws the die once. If the result is
2, 3, 4 or 5, that result is the player’s score and the player does not throw the die again. If the result
is 1 or 6, the player throws the die a second time and the player’s score is the sum of the two numbers
from the two throws.

1 On any day, Kino travels to school by bus, by car or on foot with probabilities 0.2, 0.1 and 0.7
respectively. The probability that he is late when he travels by bus is x. The probability that he is late
when he travels by car is 2x and the probability that he is late when he travels on foot is 0.25.

The probability that, on a randomly chosen day, Kino is late is 0.235.

7 Sam and Tom are playing a game which involves a bag containing 5 white discs and 3 red discs. They
take turns to remove one disc from the bag at random. Discs that are removed are not replaced into
the bag. The game ends as soon as one player has removed two red discs from the bag. That player
wins the game.

Sam removes the first disc.

(a) Find the probability that Tom removes a red disc on his first turn. [2]
