Question 1.10 [2, 2, 3]
Due to the increased demand of student transport during the examination period, a local business
has decided to loan a fleet of ten taxis that they use for their employees. Of these ten taxis used to
pick up students, five taxis must be sent to the Walmer Area in Gqeberha, three taxis must be sent
to the Kariega, and two taxis must be sent to the Gqeberha train station. Assume that taxis are
allocated to the destinations at random.
a) If one of the taxis is in need of repair, what is the probability that it was dispatched to Walmer?
b) If three of the taxis are in need of repair, what is the probability that every destination (Walmer,
Kariega and train station) gets one taxi in need of repair?
