A bag contains 5 red balls, 3 blue balls, and 2 green balls.
Two balls are selected at random from the bag without replacement.

Calculate the probability that both balls are of the same colour.
查看答案详解

解题

The total number of balls is \(5 + 3 + 2 = 10\).

Since selection is without replacement:
\(\text{P(both Red)} = \frac{5}{10} \times \frac{4}{9} = \frac{20}{90}\)
\(\text{P(both Blue)} = \frac{3}{10} \times \frac{2}{9} = \frac{6}{90}\)

A rectangular field has a length of $80\text{ m}$, correct to the nearest metre, and a width of $45\text{ m}$, correct to the nearest $5\text{ m}$.

Calculate the upper bound for the perimeter of the field.
查看答案详解

解题

To find the upper bound for the perimeter, we first determine the upper bounds for both the length and the width.

For the length, $L = 80\text{ m}$ to the nearest metre, so its upper bound is:
$$L_{\text{upper}} = 80 + 0.5 = 80.5\text{ m}$$

For the width, $W = 45\text{ m}$ to the nearest $5\text{ m}$, so its upper bound is:
$$W_{\text{upper}} = 45 + 2.5 = 47.5\text{ m}$$

The perimeter $P$ is given by:
$$P = 2(L + W)$$

Therefore, the upper bound of the perimeter is:
$$P_{\text{upper}} = 2(L_{\text{upper}} + W_{\text{upper}}) = 2(80.5 + 47.5) = 2(128) = 256\text{ m}$$

Two mathematically similar cylinders have volumes of $54\pi\text{ cm}^3$ and $128\pi\text{ cm}^3$.
The total surface area of the smaller cylinder is $36\pi\text{ cm}^2$.

Calculate the total surface area of the larger cylinder.
Give your answer in terms of $\pi$.
查看答案详解

解题

Let the scale factor for the volumes be $\frac{V_2}{V_1}$:
$$\frac{V_2}{V_1} = \frac{128\pi}{54\pi} = \frac{64}{27}$$

The linear scale factor $k$ is the cube root of the volume scale factor:
$$k = \sqrt[3]{\frac{64}{27}} = \frac{4}{3}$$

The area scale factor is $k^2$:
$$k^2 = \left(\frac{4}{3}\right)^2 = \frac{16}{9}$$

Therefore, the total surface area of the larger cylinder $A_2$ is:
$$A_2 = A_1 \times k^2 = 36\pi \times \frac{16}{9} = 4\pi \times 16 = 64\pi\text{ cm}^2$$

A box contains 5 red pens and 3 blue pens.
Two pens are taken at random from the box, without replacement.

Find the probability that at least one of the pens is blue.
Give your answer as a fraction in its simplest form.
查看答案详解

解题

The total number of pens in the box is $5 + 3 = 8$.

Using the complement rule, the probability of choosing at least one blue pen is:
$$\text{P(at least one blue)} = 1 - \text{P(both red)}$$

The probability that both pens are red (without replacement) is:
$$\text{P(both red)} = \frac{5}{8} \times \frac{4}{7} = \frac{20}{56} = \frac{5}{14}$$

Therefore:

Triangle $P$ is mapped onto Triangle $Q$ by a reflection in the line $y = -x$.
Triangle $Q$ is then mapped onto Triangle $R$ by a translation by the vector $\begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ -3 \end{pmatrix}$.

The coordinates of a vertex of Triangle $P$ are $(1, 4)$.

Find the coordinates of the corresponding vertex of Triangle $R$.
查看答案详解

解题

First, reflect the vertex $(1, 4)$ in the line $y = -x$.
The general mapping for reflection in the line $y = -x$ is $(x, y) \rightarrow (-y, -x)$.
Therefore, the image of $(1, 4)$ is:
$$(-4, -1)$$

Next, apply the translation by the vector $\begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ -3 \end{pmatrix}$ to $(-4, -1)$:
$$\begin{pmatrix} -4 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix} + \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ -3 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} -4 + 2 \\ -1 - 3 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} -2 \\ -4 \end{pmatrix}$$

So, the coordinates of the corresponding vertex of Triangle $R$ are $(-2, -4)$.

A curve has the equation \(y = 2x^3 - 9x^2 + 12x - 5\). Find the coordinates of the local minimum point of this curve.
查看答案详解

解题

To find the stationary points, find the derivative \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) and set it to 0:
\[\frac{dy}{dx} = 6x^2 - 18x + 12\]
\[6x^2 - 18x + 12 = 0\]
\[6(x^2 - 3x + 2) = 0\]
\[6(x - 1)(x - 2) = 0\]
So the stationary points are at \(x = 1\) and \(x = 2\).

To determine which point is the local minimum, use the second derivative test:
\[\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 12x - 18\]
At \(x = 1\): \(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 12(1) - 18 = -6 < 0\) (local maximum).
At \(x = 2\): \(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 12(2) - 18 = 6 > 0\) (local minimum).

Find the \(y\)-coordinate at \(x = 2\):
\[y = 2(2)^3 - 9(2)^2 + 12(2) - 5 = 16 - 36 + 24 - 5 = -1\]
Thus, the coordinates of the local minimum point are \((2, -1)\).

The gradient of the line \(y = 3x - 5\) is \(3\). The gradient of the perpendicular line, \(m\), is given by the negative reciprocal: \(m = -\frac{1}{3}\). Using the equation of a straight line, \(y = mx + c\), we substitute the gradient and the point \((6, 2)\): \(2 = -\frac{1}{3}(6) + c\), which simplifies to \(2 = -2 + c\), giving \(c = 4\). Therefore, the equation of the perpendicular line is \(y = -\frac{1}{3}x + 4\).

Simplify \(\left(64y^{12}\right)^{\frac{2}{3}}\).
查看答案详解

解题

We apply the fractional power to each part of the term: \(\left(64y^{12}\right)^{\frac{2}{3}} = 64^{\frac{2}{3}} \times \left(y^{12}\right)^{\frac{2}{3}}\). First, evaluate the coefficient: \(64^{\frac{2}{3}} = (\sqrt[3]{64})^2 = 4^2 = 16\). Next, simplify the index of \(y\): \((y^{12})^{\frac{2}{3}} = y^{12 \times \frac{2}{3}} = y^8\). Combining these terms gives \(16y^8\).

评分标准

B1 for \(16\) or \(y^8\) in the final answer
or M1 for \(64^{\frac{2}{3}}\) evaluated as \(16\) or \(\left(y^{12}\right)^{\frac{2}{3}} = y^8\)

Liam bought a car and its value changes.

(a) The value of Liam's car today is $12 150. This is a decrease of 10% on the value last year. Calculate the value of the car last year. [2]

(b) The value of the car decreases by 8% each year of its value today. Calculate the value of the car after 3 years. [2]

(c) Liam invests $8000 at a rate of r% per year compound interest. At the end of 6 years, the value of the investment is $9850. Find the value of r. [3]

(d) A radioactive isotope decreases exponentially at a rate of 4.5% per hour.
(i) Find the overall percentage decrease in the mass of the isotope after 12 hours. [3]
(ii) Find the number of whole hours it takes for the mass of the isotope to be less than 40% of its original mass. [3]
查看答案详解

解题

(a) Value last year = 12150 / 0.9 = $13500.

(b) Value after 3 years = 12150 * (0.92)^3 = 12150 * 0.778688 = $9461.06, which rounds to $9460 (to 3 significant figures).

(c) 8000 * (1 + r/100)^6 = 9850
(1 + r/100)^6 = 1.23125
1 + r/100 = 1.23125^(1/6) ≈ 1.035305
r = 3.53% (to 3 significant figures).

(d)(i) Let M_0 be the initial mass. Mass after 12 hours = M_0 * (1 - 0.045)^12 = M_0 * (0.955)^12 ≈ 0.57413 * M_0.
Overall percentage decrease = (1 - 0.57413) * 100% = 42.587% ≈ 42.6%.

(ii) (0.955)^t < 0.40
t * ln(0.955) < ln(0.40)
t * (-0.046044) < -0.91629
t > 19.9 hours.
Therefore, the number of whole hours is 20.

(i) Calculate the value of y. [3]
(ii) Calculate the height of the cone. [2]
(iii) Calculate the volume of the cone. [2]

(b) A solid metal cylinder has radius 6 cm and height 15 cm. It is melted down and recast into solid spheres, each of radius 2.5 cm. Calculate the maximum number of complete spheres that can be made. [3]

(c) Calculate the total surface area of one of the spheres. [2]
查看答案详解

解题

(a)(i) Arc length of sector = 2 * pi * 12 * (y / 360).
Circumference of cone base = 2 * pi * 3.2.
2 * pi * 12 * (y / 360) = 2 * pi * 3.2
12 * y / 360 = 3.2
y = (3.2 * 360) / 12 = 96.

(a)(ii) Slant height of cone, l = 12 cm. Base radius, r = 3.2 cm.
Height, h = √(12^2 - 3.2^2) = √(144 - 10.24) = √133.76 ≈ 11.565 cm, which rounds to 11.6 cm.

(a)(iii) Volume = (1/3) * pi * r^2 * h = (1/3) * pi * 3.2^2 * 11.565 ≈ 124.28 cm^3, which rounds to 124 cm^3.

(b) Volume of cylinder = pi * r^2 * h = pi * 6^2 * 15 = 540 * pi ≈ 1696.46 cm^3.
Volume of one sphere = (4/3) * pi * R^3 = (4/3) * pi * 2.5^3 = (50/3) * pi ≈ 65.45 cm^3.
Number of spheres = 540 * pi / ((50/3) * pi) = 1620 / 50 = 32.4.
Maximum number of complete spheres is 32.

(c) Surface area = 4 * pi * R^2 = 4 * pi * 2.5^2 = 25 * pi ≈ 78.5398 cm^2, which rounds to 78.5 cm^2.

(a) An online retailer sells wireless earbuds.
The cost of a basic model is $x. The cost of a premium model is $(x + 10).
An electronics store spends $450 on basic models and $500 on premium models.
The total number of earbuds purchased is 50.
(i) Show that x^2 - 9x - 90 = 0. [4]
(ii) Factorise x^2 - 9x - 90. [2]
(iii) Find the cost of a basic model. [1]

(b) Solve the equation 4 / (y - 3) - 3 / (y + 2) = 1. Show all your working and give your answers correct to 2 decimal places. [5]
查看答案详解

解题

(a)(i) Number of basic models = 450 / x
Number of premium models = 500 / (x + 10)
Total earbuds = 450 / x + 500 / (x + 10) = 50.
Divide the equation by 50:
9 / x + 10 / (x + 10) = 1
Multiply by x(x + 10):
9(x + 10) + 10x = x(x + 10)
9x + 90 + 10x = x^2 + 10x
19x + 90 = x^2 + 10x
x^2 - 9x - 90 = 0.

(a)(ii) We look for two numbers that multiply to -90 and add to -9. These are -15 and 6.
Thus, x^2 - 9x - 90 = (x - 15)(x + 6).

(a)(iii) x = 15 or x = -6. Since cost must be positive, the cost of a basic model is $15.

(b) 4(y + 2) - 3(y - 3) = (y - 3)(y + 2)
4y + 8 - 3y + 9 = y^2 - y - 6
y + 17 = y^2 - y - 6
y^2 - 2y - 23 = 0.
Using the quadratic formula:
y = (2 ± √((-2)^2 - 4 * 1 * (-23))) / 2
y = (2 ± √(4 + 92)) / 2
y = (2 ± √96) / 2
y = 1 ± √24
y ≈ 5.90 or y ≈ -3.90.

评分标准

(iii) A straight wire is to be connected from B to a point P on the line CD such that the length of the wire BP is as short as possible. Calculate the length of this wire. [4]
查看答案详解

解题

(a) Using the cosine rule on triangle CAD:
CD^2 = 12^2 + 15^2 - 2 * 12 * 15 * cos(42°)
CD^2 = 144 + 225 - 360 * 0.74314
CD^2 = 369 - 267.53 = 101.47
CD = √101.47 ≈ 10.073 m, which rounds to 10.1 m.

(b)(i) AB is vertical, so triangle BAC is right-angled at A.
tan(angle BCA) = AB / AC = 8.4 / 12 = 0.7
angle BCA = tan^-1(0.7) ≈ 34.99°, which rounds to 35.0°.

(b)(ii) AB is vertical, so triangle BAD is right-angled at A.
BD^2 = AB^2 + AD^2 = 8.4^2 + 15^2 = 70.56 + 225 = 295.56
BD = √295.56 ≈ 17.19 m, which rounds to 17.2 m.

(b)(iii) For the wire BP to be as short as possible, BP must be perpendicular to CD. Since AB is vertical, BP^2 = AB^2 + AP^2.
BP is minimised when AP is minimised, which means AP is perpendicular to CD on the ground.
Area of triangle CAD = 0.5 * AC * AD * sin(42°) = 0.5 * 12 * 15 * sin(42°) = 90 * 0.66913 = 60.222 m^2.
Also, Area of triangle CAD = 0.5 * CD * AP = 0.5 * 10.073 * AP.
60.222 = 5.0365 * AP
AP = 11.957 m.
Now, BP^2 = AB^2 + AP^2 = 8.4^2 + 11.957^2 = 70.56 + 142.97 = 213.53
BP = √213.53 ≈ 14.61 m, which rounds to 14.6 m.

(c) Calculate the length of SR. [3]
(d) Calculate the length of PS. [3]
(e) Calculate the perimeter of the field PQRS. [1]
查看答案详解

解题

(a) Using the cosine rule on triangle PQR:
PR^2 = PQ^2 + QR^2 - 2 * PQ * QR * cos(108°)
PR^2 = 45^2 + 62^2 - 2 * 45 * 62 * cos(108°)
PR^2 = 2025 + 3844 - 5580 * (-0.30902)
PR^2 = 5869 + 1724.33 = 7593.33
PR = √7593.33 ≈ 87.14 m, which rounds to 87.1 m.

(b) Area of PQR = 0.5 * PQ * QR * sin(108°)
Area = 0.5 * 45 * 62 * sin(108°) = 1395 * 0.95106 ≈ 1326.7 m^2, which rounds to 1330 m^2.

(c) In triangle PSR, angle PSR = 180° - 38° - 47° = 95°.
Using the sine rule:
SR / sin(38°) = PR / sin(95°)
SR = 87.14 * sin(38°) / sin(95°)
SR = 87.14 * 0.61566 / 0.99619 ≈ 53.85 m, which rounds to 53.9 m.

(d) Using the sine rule on triangle PSR:
PS / sin(47°) = PR / sin(95°)
PS = 87.14 * sin(47°) / sin(95°)
PS = 87.14 * 0.73135 / 0.99619 ≈ 63.97 m, which rounds to 64.0 m.

(e) Perimeter = PQ + QR + SR + PS = 45 + 62 + 53.85 + 63.97 = 224.82 m, which rounds to 225 m.

解题

(a)(i) P(both blue) = P(Blue first) * P(Blue second | Blue first) = (8/12) * (7/11) = 56 / 132 = 14/33 ≈ 0.424.

(a)(ii) P(different colours) = P(Blue then Red) + P(Red then Blue)
= (8/12) * (4/11) + (4/12) * (8/11) = 32/132 + 32/132 = 64/132 = 16/33 ≈ 0.485.

(a)(iii) P(at least one red) = 1 - P(no red) = 1 - P(both blue) = 1 - 14/33 = 19/33 ≈ 0.576.

(b) P(three same) = P(B, B, B) + P(R, R, R)
P(B, B, B) = (8/12) * (7/11) * (6/10) = 336 / 1320
P(R, R, R) = (4/12) * (3/11) * (2/10) = 24 / 1320
P(three same) = (336 + 24) / 1320 = 360 / 1320 = 3/11 ≈ 0.273.

(c) We are given the first two balls have different colours: {BR, RB}.
P(First was Blue | Different) = P(BR) / (P(BR) + P(RB)) = (32/132) / (64/132) = 32 / 64 = 0.5.

The equation of a curve is y = 2x^3 - 9x^2 - 24x + 10.

(a) Find dy/dx. [2]

(b) Find the coordinates of the two stationary points of the curve. [4]

(c) Determine the nature of each stationary point. Show your working clearly. [3]

(d) Find the equation of the tangent to the curve at the point where x = 2. Give your answer in the form y = mx + c. [3]
查看答案详解

解题

(a) dy/dx = d/dx (2x^3 - 9x^2 - 24x + 10) = 6x^2 - 18x - 24.

(b) Stationary points occur when dy/dx = 0:
6x^2 - 18x - 24 = 0
x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0
(x - 4)(x + 1) = 0
So x = 4 or x = -1.

When x = 4:
y = 2(4)^3 - 9(4)^2 - 24(4) + 10 = 2(64) - 9(16) - 96 + 10 = 128 - 144 - 96 + 10 = -102.
The coordinate is (4, -102).

When x = -1:
y = 2(-1)^3 - 9(-1)^2 - 24(-1) + 10 = -2 - 9 + 24 + 10 = 23.
The coordinate is (-1, 23).

(c) Find the second derivative:
d^2y/dx^2 = 12x - 18.
At x = 4:
d^2y/dx^2 = 12(4) - 18 = 30 > 0. Since the second derivative is positive, (4, -102) is a local minimum.
At x = -1:
d^2y/dx^2 = 12(-1) - 18 = -30 < 0. Since the second derivative is negative, (-1, 23) is a local maximum.

(d) At x = 2:
y = 2(2)^3 - 9(2)^2 - 24(2) + 10 = 16 - 36 - 48 + 10 = -58.
The gradient of the tangent, m, is the value of dy/dx at x = 2:
m = 6(2)^2 - 18(2) - 24 = 24 - 36 - 24 = -36.
The equation of the tangent is:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - (-58) = -36(x - 2)
y + 58 = -36x + 72
y = -36x + 14.

评分标准

(a) B2 for 6x^2 - 18x - 24 (B1 for 6x^2 or -18x or -24).
(b) M1 for setting their dy/dx = 0, A1 for x = 4 and x = -1, A1 for y = -102, A1 for y = 23.
(c) M1 for finding d^2y/dx^2 = 12x - 18, A1 for evaluating d^2y/dx^2 at x = 4 and x = -1, A1 for correctly stating minimum and maximum.

解题

(a)(i) Using the cosine rule in triangle $ABC$:
$$\cos \angle ACB = \frac{AC^2 + BC^2 - AB^2}{2 \cdot AC \cdot BC}$$
$$\cos \angle ACB = \frac{120^2 + 180^2 - 150^2}{2 \cdot 120 \cdot 180}$$
$$\cos \angle ACB = \frac{14400 + 32400 - 22500}{43200} = \frac{24300}{43200} = 0.5625$$
$$\angle ACB = \arccos(0.5625) \approx 55.771^\circ$$
Rounding to 1 decimal place gives $55.8^\circ$.

(a)(ii) First, find the angle $CAB$ using the cosine rule:
$$\cos \angle CAB = \frac{AC^2 + AB^2 - BC^2}{2 \cdot AC \cdot AB}$$
$$\cos \angle CAB = \frac{120^2 + 150^2 - 180^2}{2 \cdot 120 \cdot 150}$$
$$\cos \angle CAB = \frac{14400 + 22500 - 32400}{36000} = \frac{4500}{36000} = 0.125$$
$$\angle CAB = \arccos(0.125) \approx 82.819^\circ$$
Since the bearing of $C$ from $A$ is between $090^\circ$ and $180^\circ$, we add this angle to the bearing of $B$ from $A$:
$$\text{Bearing} = 75^\circ + 82.819^\circ = 157.819^\circ \approx 157.8^\circ$$

(b)(i) The top of the tower $T$ is vertically above $C$.
The height of $T$ above $C$ is the height of $D$ above $C$ plus the height of the tower $TD$:
$$TC = 25\text{ m} + 40\text{ m} = 65\text{ m}$$
Triangle $TAC$ is a right-angled triangle with the right angle at $C$:
$$AT = \sqrt{AC^2 + TC^2} = \sqrt{120^2 + 65^2} = \sqrt{14400 + 4225} = \sqrt{18625} \approx 136.47\text{ m}$$
Correct to 3 significant figures, $AT = 136\text{ m}$.

(b)(ii) Triangle $TBC$ is a right-angled triangle with the right angle at $C$.
Let $\theta$ be the angle of elevation of $T$ from $B$:
$$\tan \theta = \frac{TC}{BC} = \frac{65}{180}$$
$$\theta = \arctan\left(\frac{65}{180}\right) \approx 19.854^\circ$$
Correct to 3 significant figures, the angle of elevation is $19.9^\circ$.

A curve has the equation $y = 2x^3 - 9x^2 - 24x + 15$.

(a) Find $\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}$.

(b) Find the coordinates of the two stationary points on the curve.

(c) Determine the nature of each stationary point. Show your working clearly.

(d) Find the equation of the tangent to the curve at the point where $x = 1$. Give your answer in the form $y = mx + c$.
查看答案详解

解题

(a) Differentiating $y = 2x^3 - 9x^2 - 24x + 15$ with respect to $x$:
$$\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} = 6x^2 - 18x - 24$$

(b) Stationary points occur when $\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} = 0$:
$$6x^2 - 18x - 24 = 0$$
Divide by 6:
$$x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0$$
$$(x - 4)(x + 1) = 0$$
So, $x = 4$ or $x = -1$.

When $x = 4$:
$$y = 2(4)^3 - 9(4)^2 - 24(4) + 15 = 128 - 144 - 96 + 15 = -97$$
Stationary point: $(4, -97)$.

When $x = -1$:
$$y = 2(-1)^3 - 9(-1)^2 - 24(-1) + 15 = -2 - 9 + 24 + 15 = 28$$
Stationary point: $(-1, 28)$.

(c) Using the second derivative to determine the nature:
$$\frac{\mathrm{d}^2y}{\mathrm{d}x^2} = 12x - 18$$

For $x = 4$:
$$\frac{\mathrm{d}^2y}{\mathrm{d}x^2} = 12(4) - 18 = 30 > 0$$
Since $\frac{\mathrm{d}^2y}{\mathrm{d}x^2} > 0$, the point $(4, -97)$ is a local minimum.

For $x = -1$:
$$\frac{\mathrm{d}^2y}{\mathrm{d}x^2} = 12(-1) - 18 = -30 < 0$$
Since $\frac{\mathrm{d}^2y}{\mathrm{d}x^2} < 0$, the point $(-1, 28)$ is a local maximum.

(d) Find the gradient of the tangent at $x = 1$:
$$m = 6(1)^2 - 18(1) - 24 = 6 - 18 - 24 = -36$$
Find the $y$-value at $x = 1$:
$$y = 2(1)^3 - 9(1)^2 - 24(1) + 15 = -16$$
The equation of the tangent is:
$$y - (-16) = -36(x - 1)$$
$$y + 16 = -36x + 36$$
$$y = -36x + 20$$

A bag contains 12 colored disks: 5 are Red, 4 are Blue, and 3 are Yellow.
Two disks are taken at random from the bag, one after the other, without replacement.

(a) Find the probability that:

(i) both disks are the same color,

(ii) the two disks are of different colors.

(b) A third disk is now taken at random from the remaining 10 disks in the bag, without replacement.
Find the probability that:

(i) the first disk is Red, the second is Blue, and the third is Yellow,

(ii) exactly two of the three disks are Red.
查看答案详解

解题

(a)(i) The probability that both disks are the same color is the sum of the probabilities of choosing RR, BB, or YY:
$$P(RR) = \frac{5}{12} \times \frac{4}{11} = \frac{20}{132}$$
$$P(BB) = \frac{4}{12} \times \frac{3}{11} = \frac{12}{132}$$
$$P(YY) = \frac{3}{12} \times \frac{2}{11} = \frac{6}{132}$$
$$P(\text{same color}) = \frac{20 + 12 + 6}{132} = \frac{38}{132} = \frac{19}{66} \approx 0.288$$

(a)(ii) The probability that they are of different colors is:
$$P(\text{different colors}) = 1 - P(\text{same color}) = 1 - \frac{19}{66} = \frac{47}{66} \approx 0.712$$

(b)(i) The probability of selecting Red first, Blue second, and Yellow third is:
$$P(R_1 \text{ and } B_2 \text{ and } Y_3) = \frac{5}{12} \times \frac{4}{11} \times \frac{3}{10} = \frac{60}{1320} = \frac{1}{22} \approx 0.0455$$

(b)(ii) Exactly two of the three disks are Red. The possible sequences are RRX, RXR, and XRR, where X is a non-Red disk (7 non-Red disks originally):
$$P(RRX) = \frac{5}{12} \times \frac{4}{11} \times \frac{7}{10} = \frac{140}{1320}$$
$$P(RXR) = \frac{5}{12} \times \frac{7}{11} \times \frac{4}{10} = \frac{140}{1320}$$
$$P(XRR) = \frac{7}{12} \times \frac{5}{11} \times \frac{4}{10} = \frac{140}{1320}$$
$$P(\text{exactly two Red}) = 3 \times \frac{140}{1320} = \frac{420}{1320} = \frac{7}{22} \approx 0.318$$
