Probability Venn Normal
1. **Problem statement:**
(a)(i) In a class of 40 students, 20 take Science, 10 take Chemistry, and 5 take both Science and Chemistry. Draw a Venn diagram to represent this.
(a)(ii) Find the probability that a student is registered for neither Chemistry nor Biology.
(b)(i) Heights of dwarf cocoa plants are normally distributed with mean $\mu=120$ cm and standard deviation $\sigma=8$ cm. Find the probability a randomly selected plant is taller than 120 cm.

2. **Solution for (a)(i): Venn diagram setup**
- Total students: 40
- Science only: $20 - 5 = 15$
- Chemistry only: $10 - 5 = 5$
- Both Science and Chemistry: 5
- Neither Science nor Chemistry: $40 - (15 + 5 + 5) = 15$
The Venn diagram has two overlapping circles labeled Science and Chemistry with the numbers 15, 5, and 5 in the respective regions, and 15 outside both circles.

3. **Solution for (a)(ii): Probability of neither Chemistry nor Biology**
Assuming Biology is not taken by any student (or no data given), the question reduces to neither Science nor Chemistry.
Number of students taking Science or Chemistry = $15 + 5 + 5 = 25$
Number taking neither = 15
Probability = $\frac{15}{40} = 0.375$

4. **Solution for (b)(i): Probability plant taller than 120 cm**
Given $X \sim N(120, 8^2)$, find $P(X > 120)$.
Calculate the z-score:
$$z = \frac{120 - 120}{8} = 0$$
From standard normal distribution, $P(Z > 0) = 0.5$.
Therefore, the probability a plant is taller than 120 cm is 0.5.

**Final answers:**
- (a)(ii) Probability neither Chemistry nor Biology = 0.375
- (b)(i) Probability plant taller than 120 cm = 0.5
