2 A survey of 28 high school students found that:

 17 like Paddle boarding (P) and 12 like Skateboarding (S)
 5 like both Paddle boarding (P) and Skateboarding (S)
 4 like neither Paddle boarding (P) nor Skateboarding (S)

a Use the space provided to construct a Venn diagram to represent the survey results.

b i How many students do not like Skateboarding? ___________________

ii Only like Paddle boarding? __________________________________

c If one of the 28 students was randomly selected, find:

i Pr(like Paddle boarding and Skateboarding) _________________

ii Pr(like neither Paddle boarding nor Skateboarding) ___________________

Part C – Extended-response questions (5 marks)

1 Neil wants to form a two-digit number out of the digits 2, 3 and 4.

 He writes the numbers 2, 3 and 4 onto equally-sized cards and chooses one at
random. He then replaces the card and chooses a second card at random.
 The first number he chose is the tens digit of his 2-digit number, and the second
number is the units digit.

a List the sample space using a tree diagram.

b Find the probability that Neil forms an even number.
