1. The line 𝑙𝐴 passes through the point 𝑅(1,3, −5) in the direction of 𝒊 − 𝒋 + 𝒌. The line 𝑙𝐵 passes through
the point 𝑆(−1,5, −7) in the direction of 𝒊 + 𝒋 + 𝒌.
a. State the equations for 𝑙𝐴 and 𝑙𝐵 in vector form. [2 marks]
b. Show that S lies on 𝑙𝐴 [3 marks]
c. Calculate the angle between the lines 𝑙𝐴 and 𝑙𝐵 [4 marks]
d. Find the Cartesian equation for the plane containing 𝑙𝐴 and the point (5, −2,3) [7 marks]

6. A survey in a college was commissioned to investigate whether there was any association between gender
and passing a driving test. A group of 12 men and 8 women students were asked whether they passed their
driving test at the first attempt. All the students asked had taken the test. The results were as follows:
Pass Fail
Men 9 3
Women 6 2

Find the number of ways a group of 8 students can be formed if the number of students passing the test in
the group is more than the number of students failing the test. [4 marks]

7. A security code is to be formed by using three alphabets and four digits chosen from the alphabets {a,b,c,d,e}
and digits {1,2,3,4,5,6}. All the digits and alphabets can only be used once. Find the number of different
ways the security code can be formed if

a. There is no restriction imposed [3 marks]

b. All alphabets are next to each other and all digits are next to each other. [3 marks]
c. It consists of at least two consonants. [5 marks]

8. Researchers surveyed the recent graduates of two different universities about their annual incomes. The
following two-way table displays data for the 300 graduates who responded to the survey.
Annual income University University Total
A B
Under RM20 000 36 24 60
RM20 000 to 39 999 109 56 165
RM40 000 and over 35 40 75
Total 180 120 300
A random graduate is chosen from this data.

a. Identify whether the events “Income is RM40 000 and over” and “attended University B” are
independent event. Give comment. [5 marks]

ASSIGNMENT I1 (GROUP)
b. Identify whether the events "income under RM20,000" and "attended University B" independent. Give
comment. [5 marks]

9. Every years two teams, Unggul and Bestari meets each other in a debate competition. Past results show that
in years when Unggul win, the probability of them winning the next year is 0.6 and in years when Bestari
win, the probability of them winning the next year is 0.5. it is not possible for the competition to result in a
tie. Unggul won the competition in 2011.
a. Construct a probability tree diagram for the three years up to 2014. [2 marks]
b. Find the probability that Bestari will win in 2014. [3 marks]
c. If Bestari wins in 2014, find the probability that it will be their first win for at least 3 years. [3 marks]
d. Assuming that Bestari wins in 2014, find the smallest value of n such that the probability of
Unggul wins the debate competition for n consecutive years after 2014 is less than 0.05. [5 marks]
