JC 1 PROMOTIONAL EXAMINATION Time allowed: 1.5 hours Additional Materials: List of Formulae (MF15) READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST Write your Index number, Form Class, graphic and/or scientific calculator model/s on the cover page. Write your Index number and full name on all the work you hand in. Write in dark blue or black pen on your answer scripts. You may use a soft pencil for any diagrams or graphs. Do not use paper clips, highlighters, glue or correction fluid. Answer all the questions. 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. You are expected to use a graphic calculator. Unsupported answers from a graphic calculator are allowed unless a question specifically states otherwise. Where unsupported answers from a graphic calculator are not allowed in the question, you are required to present the mathematical steps using mathematical notations and not calculator commands. You are reminded of the need for clear presentation in your answers. The number of marks is given in brackets [ ] at the end of each question or part question. At the end of the examination, fasten all your work securely together.

This document consists of 4 printed pages.

On each Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening, Peter either watches a movie or plays soccer, but not both on the same evening. If he watches a movie on any particular day, the probability that he will watch a movie again the next day is 0.4. If he plays soccer on any particular day, the probability that he will play soccer again the next day is 0.7. Given that for a particular week he played soccer on Friday evening, draw a tree diagram to illustrate the above information. [1] Find the probability that (i) he plays soccer on both Saturday and Sunday. [1] (ii) he plays soccer on Sunday. [2] Given that he played soccer on Sunday, find the probability that he also played soccer on Saturday. [2]
