21 people travelled to a meeting.
• 12 used a train.
• 6 used a car.
• 7 did not use a train or a car.
• Some used a train and a car.
Two people are chosen at random from those who used a train.
Find the probability that both these people also used a car.

The graph of y = x3 - x2 - 2 is drawn on the grid.
Use the graph to solve x3 - x2 - 2 = 0. Give your answer correct to 1 decimal place.
[1]
The equation x3 - x2 + 5x - 6 = 0 can be solved by finding the intersection of the graph of y = x3 - x2 - 2 and the line y = ax + b.
Find the value of a and the value of b.
[2]
Hence, use the graph to solve the equation x3 - x2 + 5x - 6 = 0. Give your answer correct to 1 decimal place.
