18 Here are ten counters.
Each counter has a number on it.

Ten counters numbered 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 7

Fern puts the ten counters in a bag.
She takes at random a counter from the bag.

(a) Find the probability that the number on the counter is 3 or 4 (2)

Fern puts the counter back into the bag.
Then Rajan takes at random one of the ten counters from the bag.
He does not put the counter back into the bag.
He then takes at random a second counter from the bag.

(b) Calculate the probability that 3 is the number on each of the two counters he takes. (2)
(c) Calculate the probability that the sum of the numbers on the two counters he takes is an odd number. (3)
