DifficultyModerate -0.8 Part (a) is a straightforward Venn diagram setup requiring basic algebra (solving 3x + x + 3 + 14 = 25 gives x = 2), then simple probability calculation. Part (b) requires conditional probability with careful counting of cases, but the logic is systematic rather than requiring novel insight. This is easier than average A-level, being a standard textbook-style probability question with clear structure.

13 There are 25 students in a class.
  • The number of students who study both History and English is 3.
  • The number of students who study neither History nor English is 14 .
  • The number of students who study History but not English is three times the number who study English but not History.
    1. - Show this information on a Venn diagram.
    2. Determine the probability that a student selected at random studies English.
Two different students from the class are chosen at random.
  • Given that exactly one of the two students studies English, determine the probability that exactly one of the two students studies History. \section*{END OF QUESTION PAPER}
