There are only red counters, white counters, blue counters and green counters in a bag. Chris is going to take at random a counter from the bag. The table shows the probability that he will take a red counter and the probability that he will take a white counter.
| Colour | red | white | blue | green |
| Probability | 0.3 | 0.1 |
There are twice as many blue counters as there are green counters in the bag.
Work out the probability that Chris will take a blue counter.
There are 45 red counters in the bag.
(3)
Work out the total number of counters in the bag.

On the grid, draw the graph of y = x2 + x – 4 for values of x from –3 to 2
(2)
Write down the coordinates of the turning point of the graph of y = x2 + x – 4

There are 280 chocolates in a box. There are only dark chocolates, milk chocolates and white chocolates. of the 280 chocolates are dark chocolates. The number of milk chocolates: the number of white chocolates = 1: 3 The number of white chocolates: the number of dark chocolates = n: 1
Work out the value of n. You must show all your working.
10 milk chocolates from the box are eaten.

There are nine balls labelled 1 to 9 in a box. Lee will take at random two balls from the box. Lee says, “The probability that the sum of the numbers on the two balls will be an even number is greater than the probability that the product of the numbers will be an even number.” Is Lee correct? You must show how you get your answer.
