5. (a) A factory has 360 male workers and 640 female workers, with 100 male
workers earning less than
RM2000 per month and 170 female workers earning at least RM2000 per
month. At the end of the
year, workers earning less than RM2000 are given bonus of RM2000 whereas
the other receive a
bonus of a months salary.
(i) If 2 workers are randomly chosen, find the probability that only 1 worker
receives a
bonus of RM2000.

(ii) If a male worker and a female worker are randomly chosen, find the
probability that

(b) A Personal Identification Number (PIN) consists of 4 digits in order, each of
which is one of the

digits 0, 1, 2, 3, . , 9. Irene has difficulty remembering her PIN. She tries to

remember her PIN
and writes down what she thinks it is. The probability that the first digit is
correct is 0.8 and the
probability that the second digit is correct is 0.86. The probability that the first
two digits are both
correct is 0.72. Find the probability that
(i) the first digit is correct and the second digit is incorrect.
[2 marks]
(ii) the second digit is incorrect given that the first digit is incorrect.
