Instructions to Candidates
       Answer ALL questions. Write your answers on supplied paper. Write your name and teachers name on all the work you hand in. Write in dark blue or black pen. You may use soft pencil for any diagrams or graphs. Do not use staples, paper clips, highlighters, and glue or correction fluid. Give non  exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place in the case of angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question.      The number of marks is given in brackets [ ] at the end of each question or part question. The total number of marks for Pure Mathematics is 75 marks and for Statistics are 50 marks. The whole paper is 125 marks. The use of an electronic calculator is expected, where appropriate. You are reminded of the need for clear presentation in your answers. Start each SECTION on a new sheet of paper.

When Matt plays tennis, 65% of his first serves go into the correct area of the court. If the first serve goes into the correct area, his chance of winning the point is 90%. If his first serve does not go into the correct area, Matt is allowed a second serve, and of these, 80% go into the correct area. If the second serve goes into the correct area, his chance of winning the point is 60%. If neither serve goes into the correct area, Matt loses the point. i. ii. iii. Draw a tree diagram to represent this information. Using your tree diagram, find the probability that Matt loses the point. Find the conditional probability that Matts first serve went into the correct area, given that he loses the point. [2] [4] [3]

One student said The Year 12 pie chart shows that there are more females than males, but the box-and-whisker plots show that there are more males than females. Comment on this statement. [1]

b.

Give two comparisons between the overall performance of the females and the males in the General Studies examination. [2]

c.

Give one advantage and one disadvantage of using box-and-whisker plots rather than histograms to display the results. [2]
