(a) Find the probability of picking: (i) a brown peg; (ii) a pink or a white peg. (b) Two pegs are picked at random, one at a time, without replacement. Find the probability that: (i) a white peg and a brown peg are picked; (ii) both pegs are of the same colour. Form 4 Mathematics
A tourist took 1 h 20 minutes to travel by an aircraft from town T(3°S, 35°E) to town U(9°N, 35°E). (Take the radius of the earth to be 6370km and π =22/7
(a) Find the average speed of the aircraft. (b) After staying at town U for 30 minutes, the tourist took a second aircraft to town V(9°N, 5°E). The average speed of the second aircraft was 90% that of the first aircraft. Determine the time, to the nearest minute, the aircraft took to travel from U to V (c) When the journey started at town T, the local time was 0700h. Find the local time at V when the tourist arrived.
