A group of children visited a zoo during a pre-school celebration week. A sampling of children was asked if the zoo were to get one additional animal, would they prefer a lion or an elephant. The results of the survey follow: Lion Elephant Total Boys 90 110 200 Girls 75 85 160 Total 165 195 360 If one child who was in the survey is selected at random, find the probability that: A randomly selected child that prefers Lions is a Boy

Observe the question below and the two possible solutions. State which solution is correct and give a reason for your choice. For a group of 300 cars the numbers, classified by colour and country of manufacture, are shown in the table. Black Silver WhiteKorea 33 34 35Japan 23 9 24America 16 25 34Germany 19 16 32 One car is selected at random from this group. Find the probability that the selected car is a black or white car manufactured in Korea. Solution 1 P (BUW) = P (B) + P (W) = 33/300 + 35/300 = 68/300 Solution 2 P (BUW) = P (B) + P (W) = 33/102 + 35/102 = 68/102
