Question 14.
In a marathon, there is a half-marathon and a full-marathon. There are 60 students who participated in the half-marathon and 80 participated in the full-marathon. Half of the students in the half-marathon warm up before the run, while three-quarters of the students in the full-marathon warm up. Assume that warming up and not warming up are mutually exclusive and complementary.
a) Draw a tree diagram to represent the possible outcomes and the corresponding probabilities.
Answer:
Since, there are 2 types of marathon, then start the tree diagram with 2 branches. Now, at the end of these branches put the possible outcomes: H for half-marathon, and F for full marathon. Note that the probability of full marathon is \(\frac{80}{140}\) and the probability of half-marathon is \(\frac{60}{140}\). Next, there are a group who warms up and who does not, then make another 2 branches. At the end of these branches put the possible outcomes: W for warming up and NW for not warming up. Finally, conclude the possible results. Therefore, the tree diagram for the said event is as depicted below.

b) What is the probability of randomly picking a marathon participant who warms up before running a full-marathon?
Answer: full marathon: 80 runners

c) What is the probability of randomly picking a marathon participant who does not warm up before running?
Answer:
80 + 60 = 140
total: 140 runners; 90 warm-up.
The probability that a randomly selected runner warms up is 90/140.

Question 15.
The probability of Cindy waking up after 8 A.M. on a weekend day is p. Assume the events of Cindy waking up after 8 A.M. and by 8 A.M. are mutually exclusive and complementary.
a) If p = 0.3, find the probability that she will wake up after 8 A.M. on two consecutive weekend days.
Answer:
P(waking up after 8 A.M. two weekend days in a row) = p²
If p=0.3
p² = (0.3)²
p² = 0.09

b) If p = 0.56, find the probability that she will wake up by 8 A.M. on two consecutive weekend days.
Answer:
P(waking up before 8 A.M two weekend days in a row) = (1 – p)²
If p = 0.56, 1-p = 0.44 and
(1 – p)² = (0.44)² = 0.1936.

Question 16.
In a jar, there are 2 raisin cookies and 3 oat cookies. Steven takes two cookies one after another without replacement.
a) Draw a tree diagram to represent the possible outcomes and the corresponding probabilities.
Answer:
Since there are two different kinds of muffins, which are bran and pumpkin, then start the tree diagram with 2 branches. Now, at the end of these branches put the possible outcomes: P for pumpkin muffin, and B for bran muffins. Note that there are 2 pumpkin muffins out of the total of 5 muffins, and 3 bran muffins out of the 5 total muffins. So the probability for selecting a pumpkin is \(\frac{2}{5}\), and the probability of selecting a bran is \(\frac{3}{5}\).

Next, there are stilt 2 different kinds of muffins, then again, at the end of these branches put the possible outcomes: P for pumpkin muffin, and B for bran muffins. If a pumpkin muffin is obtained in the first pick, then on the second pick, there are now 1 pumpkin muffin and a totat of 4 muffins left since a muffin is already taken, then the probability of choosing a pumpkin is \(\frac{1}{4}\). Also, there are still 3 bran muffin out of 4 muffins left, thus, the probability of selecting a bran muffin is \(\frac{3}{4}\).

If a bran muffin is obtained in the first pick, then on the second pick, there are still a pumpkin muffin and a total of 4 muffins left since a muffin is already taken, then the probability of choosing a pumpkin is \(\frac{2}{4}\). Also, there are only 2 bran muffin left out of 4 muffins, thus, the probability of selecting a bran muffin is \(\frac{2}{4}\). Therefore, the tree diagram for the said event is as depicted below.
Math in Focus Grade 8 Chapter 11 Review Test Answer Key 7

b) Find the probability of Steven randomly getting two of the same type of cookie.
Answer:
The probability of seLecting 2 muffins of a matching type is the probability of obtaining 2 pumpkin muffins, P(P, P), or the probability of choosing 2 bran muffins, P(B, B), then
P(P, P) or P(B, B) = P(P, P) + (B, B)
= P(P) · P(P) +P(B) · P(B)
= \(\frac{2}{5}\) · \(\frac{1}{4}\) + \(\frac{3}{5}\) · \(\frac{2}{4}\)
= \(\frac{2}{20}\) + \(\frac{6}{20}\)
= \(\frac{8}{20}\)
Therefore, the probability of picking 2 muffins of a matching type is \(\frac{8}{20}\).

c) Find the probability of Steven randomly getting at least one raisin cookie.
Answer:
For, the probability of selecting a minimum of one pumpkin muffin, note that the probability of choosing 2 bran muffins, P(B, B), and the probability of picking at least one pumpkin muffin is complementary.
P(B, B) + P(Minimum of One Pumpkin) = 1
P(Minimiun of One Pumpkin) = 1 – P(B, B)
P(Minimum of One Pumpkin) = 1 – P(B) · P(B)
P(Minimum of One Pumpkin) = 1 – \(\frac{3}{5}\) · \(\frac{2}{4}\)
P(minimum of One Pumpkin) = 1 – \(\frac{6}{20}\)
P(Minimum of One Pumpkin) = \(\frac{7}{10}\)
Therefore, the probabiUty of picking a minimum of one pumpkin is \(\frac{7}{10}\).

Math in Focus Grade 8 Chapter 11 Review Test Answer Key 1
a) If a = 0.4, find the probability that he will spend his day gaming.
Answer:
Given that a = 0.4
Here the G represents gaming.
The probability that he will spend his day on gaming =(1- 0.4) × 1/4 = 0.15.

b) If a = 0.75, find the probability that he will spend his day cycling.
Answer:
Given that a = 0.75
Here C represents cycling.
The probability that he will spend his day in cycling = (1-0.75) × 3/4 = 0.1875.
