1.
(a)
G : a government official
L : a legislative councilor

P(4G 2L)
= 8C4 x 6C2 / 14C6
= (8!/4!4!) x (6!/2!4!) / (14!/6!8!)
= 50/143

(b)
P(3G 3L)
= 8C3 x 6C3 / 14C6
= (8!/3!5!) x (6!/3!3!) / (14!/6!8!)
= 160/429

2.
(a)
O: having oven, O': no oven
A: having air-cleaner, A': no air-cleaner

P(O A)
= 0.05 x 0.12
= 0.006

(b)
P(only 1 appliance)
= P(O A') + P(O' A)
= 0.05 x (1 - 0.12) + (1 - 0.05) x 0.12
= 0.158

(c)
P(at least 1 appliance)
= 1 - P(O' A')
= 1 - (1 - 0.05) x (1 - 0.12)
= 0.164

3.
H : hit the target
H' : miss the target

(a)
P(4H)
= (4/5)⁴
= 256/625

(b)
P(at least 1H)
= 1 - P(4H')
= 1 - [1 - (4/5)]⁴
= 624/625

4.
T: triangle, S:square
B: blue, R: red

7T : 3BT 4RT
11S: 5BS, 6RS
18 pieces: 8B, 10R

(a)
P(same shape)
= P(T T) + P(S S)
= (7/18) x (6/17) + (11/18) x (10/17)
= 76/153

(b)
P(same colour)
= P(B B) + P(R R)
= (8/18) x (7/17) + (10/18) x (9/17)
= 73/153

(c)
P(same shape and same colour)
= P(BT BT) + P(RS RS) + P(BS BS) + P(RS RS)
= (3/18) x (2/17) + (4/18) x (3/17) + (5/18) x (4/17) + (6/18) x (5/17)
= 2/9

(d)
P([same shape] | [same colour])
= P(same shape and same colour) / (same colour)
= (2/9) / (73/153)
= 34/73
