Question

A group of 66 people went on holiday to Hawaii. During their stay, three trips were arranged: a boat trip (BB), a coach trip (CC) and a helicopter trip (HH).

From this group of people:

went on all three trips;
16  went on the coach trip only;
13  went on the boat trip only;
went on the helicopter trip only;
went on the coach trip and the helicopter trip but not the boat trip;
2 went on the boat trip and the helicopter trip but not the coach trip;
4 went on the boat trip and the coach trip but not the helicopter trip;
did not go on any of the trips.

One person in the group is selected at random.

Draw a Venn diagram to represent the given information, using sets labelled BB, CC and HH.

a.

Show that x=3x=3.

b.

Write down the value of n(BC)n(BC).

[1]
c.

Find the probability that this person

(i)     went on at most one trip;

(ii)     went on the coach trip, given that this person also went on both the helicopter trip and the boat trip.

a.

8+13+16+3+5+x+2x+4x=668+13+16+3+5+x+2x+4x=66    (M1)

 

Note:     Award (M1) for either a completely correct equation or adding all the terms from their diagram in part (a) and equating to 66.

Award (M0)(A0) if their equation has no xx.

 

7x=66457x=6645 OR 7x+45=667x+45=66     (A1)

 

Note:     Award (A1) for adding their like terms correctly, but only when the solution to their equation is equal to 3 and is consistent with their original equation.

 

x=3x=3    (AG)

 

Note:     The conclusion x=3x=3 must be seen for the (A1) to be awarded.

 

[2 marks]

b.

15     (A1)(ft)

 

Note:     Follow through from part (a). The answer must be an integer.
