(Solved)
In chemistry form 4 classes, 1/3 of the class are girls and the rest boys, 4/5 of the boys and 9/10 of the girls are right handed
while the rest are left handed. The probability that a right-handed student breaks a conical flask in any practical session is
3/10 and the corresponding probability of a left-handed student 4/10 . The probabilities are independent of the students
gender.
a) Represent the above information on a tree diagram with independent probabilities.
b) Determine the probability that student chosen at random form the class is left handed and does not break a conical flask in
simplest form.
c) Determine the probability that a conical flask is broken in any chemistry practical session in simplest
d) Determine the probability that a conical flask is not broken by a right-handed student in the simplest form.

Use a ruler and a pair of compass only in the constructions below:
a) Construct a triangle ABC such that AB = 4cm, BC = 5cm and angle ABC = 120°, measure AC.
b) On the same diagram
i) locate P the locus of a point equidistance from the three vertices of the triangle ABC and demonstrate this using a circle.
Measure the radius of the circle.
ii) On the same side of BC as A, construct Q the locus of points such that angle BQC = 120°.
iii) On the side of AC opposite point B construct R the locus of points 4cm from line AC.
iv) Within the circle shade the set of points such that Angle BQC ≥ 120°

A plane took 2h 10 minutes to fly from town A(6°S, 70°E) to town B (18°N, 70°E) (Take the radius of the earth to be 6370km
and PI = 22/7 )
a) Find the average speed of the plane.
b) A traveller in the plane spent 30 minutes in town B conducting some business. He took a second plane to town C (18°N,
10°E). The average speed of the second plane was 70% that o the first plane. Determine the time to the nearest minute the
plane took to travel from B to C.
c) When the plane took off at town A the local time was 0400h. Find the local time at C when the traveller arrived .
