4MA0 Higher June 2016 Paper 4 Q16
16 In a bag there is a total of 20 coins.
10 coins are 20 cent coins
6 coins are 10 cent coins
4 coins are 5 cent coins
Emma takes at random two of the coins from the bag.
(a) Complete the probability tree diagram.
(2)

(b) Work out the probability that Emma takes two 5 cent coins. (2)
(c) Work out the probability that the total value of the two coins is 20 cents or less. (3)
