by doing trial and error, a=1 since a can only be 1 or 2 since onle -1 and -2 are presnt.

4i. 5bowlers,5 batsmen 1 wicket keeper: 10c5*9c5*2c1
4 bowlers, 6 batsmen, 1 wicket keeper: 10c6*9c4*2c1
4 bowlers, 5 batsmen 2 wicket keep: 9c2*10c5*2c2

total is 148176

iii. since there is only 1 way of choosing 5 pens from 5 identical pens, you dont consider doing 5c5 etc.
so 5pen 4 diary 1 notebook: 10!/5!4!
4pen 4 diary 2 notebook: 10!/4!4!2!
5 pen 3 diary 2 notebook: 10!/5!3!2!

total is 6930. pm me or post here if u need any clarification

Q6-part 2
Draw up a normal dist curve and you need to find the area before -1 and after one
Then find the probability which would be 0.3174,then multiply it by 1000 to get the number of feathers

Q2 ii)
If you take a look at the formula booklet,you can see sqr root(x-Mean)^2/n = standard dev
Just solve :)

q6 ii)
34 cm to the nearest cm mean it could lie anywher betweer 33.5 to 34.5 draw up a normal dist curve and find the area inbetween these two points

Hope it helped :)
and good luck

ok think of it another way.. a can only be 1 or 2 right? since there is only -2 and -1. but since it says 2a, there is no -4 on the table so the only answer is a=1
