A café serves sandwiches and cakes. Each customer will choose one of the following three
options; buy only a sandwich, buy only a cake or buy both a sandwich and a cake.
The probability that a customer buys a sandwich is 0.72 and the probability that a
customer buys a cake is 0.45.
Find the probability that a customer chosen at random will buy
both a sandwich and a cake.

only a sandwich.
5c. [4 marks]
On a typical day 200 customers come to the café.
It is known that 46 % of the customers who come to the café are male, and that 80 % of
these buy a sandwich.
A female customer is selected at random. Find the probability that she buys a sandwich.
6. [6 marks]
The quadratic equation 𝑥 2 − 2𝑘𝑥 + (𝑘 − 1) = 0 has roots 𝛼 and 𝛽 such that 𝛼 2 + 𝛽2 = 4.
Without solving the equation, find the possible values of the real number 𝑘.
7a. [3 marks]
A pan, in which to cook a pizza, is in the shape of a cylinder. The pan has a diameter of 35
cm and a height of 0.5 cm.
7b. [4 marks]
A chef had enough pizza dough to exactly fill the pan. The dough was in the shape of a
sphere.
Find the radius of the sphere in cm, correct to one decimal place.
7c. [2 marks]
The pizza was cooked in a hot oven. Once taken out of the oven, the pizza was placed in a
dining room.
The temperature, 𝑃, of the pizza, in degrees Celsius, °C, can be modelled by
𝑃(𝑡) = 𝑎(2.06)−𝑡 + 19, 𝑡 ≥ 0
where 𝑎 is a constant and 𝑡 is the time, in minutes, since the pizza was taken out of the
oven.
When the pizza was taken out of the oven its temperature was 230 °C. Find the value of 𝑎.
7d. [2 marks]
Find the temperature that the pizza will be 5 minutes after it is taken out of the oven.
7e. [2 marks]
The pizza can be eaten once its temperature drops to 45 °C.
Calculate, to the nearest second, the time since the pizza was taken out of the oven until it
can be eaten.
7f. [1 mark]
In the context of this model, state what the value of 19 represents.
