Criterion B – Investigating Patterns

Question 5: Analyzing Overlapping Data with Probabilities

Given:

● Total students = 25
● Students who like both math and science = 10
● Students who like only math = 7
● Students who like only science = 5
1. Draw a Venn diagram to display this data:

Let:

● MMM represent students who like math.


● SSS represent students who like science.

We can use a Venn diagram where:

● The intersection (M∩SM \cap SM∩S) = 10.


● Only math = 7.
● Only science = 5.
● Students who like neither = Total students − (Only math + Only science +
Both).

Neither=25−(7+5+10)=3\text{Neither} = 25 - (7 + 5 + 10) =
3Neither=25−(7+5+10)=3

2. How many students like neither math nor science?

Answer: 3 students.

3. Verify the total probability adds up to 1:

Convert to probabilities:

● Only math: 725\frac{7}{25}257.


● Only science: 525\frac{5}{25}255.
● Both math and science: 1025\frac{10}{25}2510.
● Neither: 325\frac{3}{25}253.

Total probability:

725+525+1025+325=1\frac{7}{25} + \frac{5}{25} + \frac{10}{25} + \frac{3}{25} = 1257+255


+2510+253=1

Verification successful.
Question 6: Using Probabilities to Compare Events

Given:

● A coin is flipped twice.


1. Show all possible outcomes using a tree diagram:

Outcomes: HH,HT,TH,TTHH, HT, TH, TTHH,HT,TH,TT.

2. Determine the probability of getting at least one tail:

At least one tail means HT,TH,TTHT, TH, TTHT,TH,TT.

P(at least one tail)=34P(\text{at least one tail}) = \frac{3}{4}P(at least one tail)=43

3. Compare this probability to the event of getting exactly two heads:

Exactly two heads = HHHHHH.

P(exactly two heads)=14P(\text{exactly two heads}) = \frac{1}{4}P(exactly two heads)=41

Difference:

34−14=24=12\frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}43−41


=42=21

Question 7: Understanding Patterns in Data Representation

Given:

● 50% visit picnic area.


● 40% visit playground.
● 25% visit both.
1. Represent this data using a Venn diagram:

Let:

● PPP represent picnic visitors.


● GGG represent playground visitors.
● Intersection (P∩GP \cap GP∩G) = 25%.

From the total:

● Only picnic = 50%−25%=25%50\% - 25\% = 25\%50%−25%=25%.


● Only playground = 40%−25%=15%40\% - 25\% = 15\%40%−25%=15%.
● Neither = 100%−(25%+15%+25%)=35%100\% - (25\% + 15\% + 25\%)
= 35\%100%−(25%+15%+25%)=35%.
2. Probability of visiting only one zone:

Only one zone = Only picnic + Only playground.


P(only one zone)=25%+15%=40%P(\text{only one zone}) = 25\% + 15\% = 40\%P(only one
zone)=25%+15%=40%

3. Explain in real-life context:

The probabilities show how visitors distribute their time among park zones. A significant
percentage of people visit both areas, highlighting overlapping interests.

Criterion D – Applying Mathematics in Real-Life Contexts


Question 1: Explaining Probabilities with a Tree Diagram

Given:

● 3 green marbles, 7 yellow marbles.


● Two marbles are drawn without replacement.
1. Tree diagram for outcomes:

First draw: GGG or YYY. Second draw:

● If GGG: GGG or YYY.


● If YYY: GGG or YYY.

Probabilities:

● First GGG: 310\frac{3}{10}103, then 29\frac{2}{9}92 or 79\frac{7}{9}97.


● First YYY: 710\frac{7}{10}107, then 39\frac{3}{9}93 or 69\frac{6}{9}96.
2. Probability of both marbles being green:

P(both green)=310×29=690=115P(\text{both green}) = \frac{3}{10} \times \frac{2}{9} = \


frac{6}{90} = \frac{1}{15}P(both green)=103×92=906=151

Question 2: Presenting Outcomes in a Table

Given:

● A spinner numbered 1 to 4 is spun twice.


1. Construct table of outcomes:

Rows and columns for first and second spin, respectively:

12341(1,1)(1,2)(1,3)(1,4)2(2,1)(2,2)(2,3)(2,4)3(3,1)(3,2)(3,3)(3,4)4(4,1)(4,2)(4,3)(4,4)\
begin{array}{c|c|c|c|c} & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \\ \hline 1 & (1,1) & (1,2) & (1,3) & (1,4) \\ 2 & (2,1) &
(2,2) & (2,3) & (2,4) \\ 3 & (3,1) & (3,2) & (3,3) & (3,4) \\ 4 & (4,1) & (4,2) & (4,3) & (4,4) \\ \
end{array}12341(1,1)(2,1)(3,1)(4,1)2(1,2)(2,2)(3,2)(4,2)3(1,3)(2,3)(3,3)(4,3)4(1,4)(2,4)(3,4)
(4,4)

Total outcomes = 4×4=164 \times 4 = 164×4=16.

2. Probability of sum > 5:


Pairs with sum > 5: (1,4),(2,4),(3,3),(3,4),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4)(1,4), (2,4), (3,3), (3,4), (4,2), (4,3),
(4,4)(1,4),(2,4),(3,3),(3,4),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4). Count = 7.

P(sum > 5)=716P(\text{sum > 5}) = \frac{7}{16}P(sum > 5)=167

Question 3: Combinatorial Probability in a Club Activity

Given:

● Total = 20.
● Piano = 12, Guitar = 8, Both = 5.
1. Members playing only one instrument or neither:

Only piano = 12−5=712 - 5 = 712−5=7. Only guitar = 8−5=38 - 5 = 38−5=3.


Neither = 20−(7+3+5)=520 - (7 + 3 + 5) = 520−(7+3+5)=5.

2. Probability of piano but not guitar:

P(piano only)=720P(\text{piano only}) = \frac{7}{20}P(piano only)=207

Question 4: Real-Life Scenario with Venn Diagrams

Given:

● Hiking = 45%.
● Cycling = 30%.
● Both = 20%.
1. Venn diagram:
● Only hiking = 45%−20%=25%45\% - 20\% = 25\%45%−20%=25%.
● Only cycling = 30%−20%=10%30\% - 20\% = 10\%30%−20%=10%.
● Neither = 100%−(25%+10%+20%)=45%100\% - (25\% + 10\% + 20\%)
= 45\%100%−(25%+10%+20%)=45%.
2. Probability of at least one activity:

P(at least one)=1−P(neither)=1−0.45=0.55 or 55%P(\text{at least one}) = 1 -


P(\text{neither}) = 1 - 0.45 = 0.55 \text{ or } 55\%P(at least
one)=1−P(neither)=1−0.45=0.55 or 55%
