PX and XQ. The tangents intersect at the point
X and meet the circle at P and Q respectively.

locus of the point P.
(b) When C touches the table it becomes the point about which all rotations are made and so on. Copy
the diagram again and carefully construct the locus of the Point P as the triangle rolls along the table.
Your diagram should extend as far as rotating about B, about C, about A and then about B again.

(b) Construct an angle bisector for each angle (a line that exactly cuts an angle in half) using a straight
edge and a pair of compasses only.

incentre of the triangle. Draw a circle with the incentre of the triangle as its centre, making the radius
as large as possible so that the circle only just fits inside the triangle. If you have drawn the diagram
accurately then all three sides of the triangles should now be tangents to your circle. The circle that
you have drawn is the largest circle that can be drawn inside your triangle. It is called the incircle.

3 This tree diagram shows the probability of getting heads and tails when a biased coin is tossed twice.
Find:
(a) the probability of obtaining two heads
(b) the probability of obtaining two tails
(c) the probability of getting tails on the
first toss and heads on the second toss
(d) the probability of getting only one tail
(e) the probability of getting at least one tail.

4 This tree diagram shows the possible outcomes when three counters are removed one at a time from a bag
containing two red and six yellow counters.
Find the probability that:

(a) the three counters are the same colour
(b) at least one counter is red
(c) you get exactly one red ball.
5 A soccer match can result in a win, draw or loss.

(a) Draw a tree diagram to show all possible outcomes when a team plays three matches in a row.
(b) Find the probability of them:
(i) winning all three matches
(ii) winning or drawing all three matches
(iii) losing at least one match
(iv) winning the first match, drawing the second and losing the third.
6 There are 10 blue counters and n red counters in a bag. A counter is drawn from the bag and set aside (it
is not replaced). A second counter is then drawn.
12
The probability that both counters are red is .
182
(a) Draw a tree diagram to show the probabilities associated with each draw, giving all answers in terms
of n.
(b) Use the tree diagram to work out the value of n.
