3 A particular brand of spread is produced in three varieties: standard, light and very light. During a marketing campaign, the producer advertises that some cartons of spread contain coupons worth \(\pounds 1 , \pounds 2\) or \(\pounds 4\). For each variety of spread, the proportion of cartons containing coupons of each value is shown in the table.

£1 coupon0.200.250.30
£2 coupon0.080.060.10
£4 coupon0.020.040.05
For example, the probability that a carton of standard spread contains a coupon worth \(\pounds 2\) is 0.08 . In a large batch of cartons, 55 per cent contain standard spread, 30 per cent contain light spread and 15 per cent contain very light spread.
  1. A carton of spread is selected at random from the batch. Find the probability that the carton:
    1. contains standard spread and a coupon worth \(\pounds 1\);
    2. does not contain a coupon;
    3. contains light spread, given that it does not contain a coupon;
    4. contains very light spread, given that it contains a coupon.
  2. A random sample of 3 cartons is selected from the batch. Given that all of these 3 cartons contain a coupon, find the probability that they each contain a different variety of spread.
