\(B\) is the event that the student signed up for Badminton.\n\(F\) is the event that the student signed up for Football.\n\(T\) is the event that the student signed up for Tennis.

  1. Explain in context what \(\mathrm{P}(F \cap (B \cup T)')\) represents, and state its value in terms of \(x\).[2]
  2. Given that events \(B\) and \(T\) are independent, show that \(x = 4\).[3]
  3. Given that a student signed up for Football, find the probability that the student also signed up for Tennis.[2]
  4. Two students are chosen at random without replacement. Find the probability that both students signed up for exactly \(2\) sports each.[3]
