The following diagram shows a board which is divided into three regions \(A\), \(B\) and \(C\).

A game consists of a contestant throwing one dart at the board. The probability of hitting each region is given in the following table.

Region\(A\)\(B\)\(C\)
Probability\(\frac{1}{4}\)\(\frac{1}{5}\)\(\frac{1}{20}\)

The contestant obtains points as shown in the following table

Region\(A\)\(B\)\(C\)Does not hit the board
Points\(0\)\(p\)\(10\)\(-3\)

Let \(X\) be the number of points scored by Alan in a game.

  1. Given that the game is fair for Alan, find the value of \(p\).[3]
  2. Find the value of \(\mathrm{Var}(X)\).[1]
  3. The random variable \(Y\) is defined by \(X_1 + X_2\), where \(X_1\) and \(X_2\) are \(2\) independent observations of \(X\). Find
    1. \(P(Y \le 2)\),[3]
    2. \(P(Y \ge 0 \mid Y \le 2)\).[2]
