  1. \(\xi=\{\text{integers}\hspace{0.5em}x:2\leq x<16\}\), \(A=\{\text{multiples of}\hspace{0.5em}4\}\), \(B=\{\text{factors of}\hspace{0.5em}60\}\).
    1. Using set notation, write down a statement to describe the set \(A\cap B\).[1]
    2. Complete the Venn diagram to represent sets A and B. Shade the region which represents \(A^{\prime}\cap B\).[2]
    3. A number, q, is chosen at random from \(A^{\prime}\cap B\). Find the probability that \(q\notin A^{\prime}\cap B\).[1]
  2. A class has 40 students.
    1. There are y students who study both Biology and Physics. Two students are selected at random. The probability that they both study Biology and Physics is \(63/130\). Write an equation to represent this information and show that it simplifies to \(y^2-y-756=0\).[2]
    2. Solve \(y^2-y-756=0\) using factorisation.[2]
    3. One student is selected at random. The probability that this student does not study Physics is \(1/8\). Complete the table about the class of 40 students.[2]
