- Find the probability that
(A) both of these people were born in the rest of the UK,
(B) at least one of these people was born in England,
(C) neither of these people was born overseas. - Find the probability that both of these people were born in the rest of the UK given that neither was born overseas.
- (A) Five people are selected at random. Find the probability that at least one of them was not born in England.
(B) An interviewer selects \(n\) people at random. The interviewer wishes to ensure that the probability that at least one of them was not born in England is more than \(90 \%\). Find the least possible value of \(n\). You must show working to justify your answer.
