Each of the 7 letters in the word DIVIDED is printed on a separate card. The cards are arranged in a
row.
(a)

In how many of these arrangements are all three Ds together?

[2]

The seven cards are now shuffled and 2 cards are selected at random, without replacement.
(b)

Maria chooses toast for her breakfast with probability 0.85. If she does not choose toast then she has
a bread roll. If she chooses toast then the probability that she will have jam on it is 0.8. If she has a
bread roll, then the probability that she will have jam on it is 0.4.
(a)

Draw a fully labelled tree diagram to show this information.

(b)

Given that Maria did not have jam for breakfast, find the probability that she had toast.

There are 10 spaniels, 14 retrievers and 6 poodles at a dog show. 7 dogs are selected to go through to
the final.
(a)

How many selections of 7 different dogs can be made if there must be at least 1 spaniel, at least
2 retrievers and at least 3 poodles?
[4]

2 spaniels, 2 retrievers and 3 poodles go through to the final. They are placed in a line.
