Three friends, Rick, Brenda and Ali, go to a football match but forget to say which entrance to the ground they will meet at. There are four entrances, A, B, C and D. Each friend chooses an entrance independently.

  • The probability that Rick chooses entrance A is \(\frac{1}{3}\). The probabilities that he chooses entrances B, C or D are all equal.
  • Brenda is equally likely to choose any of the four entrances.
  • The probability that Ali chooses entrance C is \(\frac{2}{7}\) and the probability that he chooses entrance D is \(\frac{3}{5}\). The probabilities that he chooses the other two entrances are equal.

(i) Find the probability that at least 2 friends will choose entrance B. [4]

(ii) Find the probability that the three friends will all choose the same entrance. [4]
