INSTRUCTION TO STUDENTS

 Do not open this test paper until instructed to do so.

 Unless otherwise specified, all numerical answers should be either exact or correct to 3 significant
figures.
 The diagrams in this paper are not necessarily drawn to scale.
 The full mark is 50.

ADVICE TO STUDENTS

 Full marks are not necessarily awarded for a correct answer with no working. Answers must be
supported by working and/or explanations.
 Where an answer is incorrect, some marks may be given for a correct method, provided this is
shown by written working. All students should therefore be advised to show their working.
 A maximum of 2 marks will be deducted throughout the whole paper for poor presentation of
answers and missing units.

5. There is a lucky draw held in a store. Box X contains three cash coupon cards and the values of
the cards are $20, $50 and $100. Box Y contains four combo cards and the values of the cards
are 0, 1, 2, 3. The final value of the coupon is equal to the amount shown on the cash coupon
card times the number shown on the combo card. Michael randomly draws a cash coupon card
from box X and a combo card from box Y.
