2. A manager must select a committee of three from his staff of six men (M) and four women (W). He
writes their names on separate identical pieces of paper, puts the papers in a bowl, and then blindly picks a
sequence of three papers from the bowl. Find the probability that he picks two women.

(a) What is the probability that a student chosen at random liked at least two
subjects?
22+15+18 = 55
P(A)= 55/81 = 0.679
(b) What is the probability that a student liked only one subject?
5+3+8 = 16
P(A)= 16/81= 0.198
5. Three people enter a theater where the lights are dimmed, and they are ushered to the seats they are
supposed to occupy. They sat without looking at their seat numbers. What is the probability that they are in
the correct seat according to their ticket numbers?
S=3
A=1
P (A) = 1/3!
= 0.16667 OR 16.67%
7. What is the probability of winning the jackpot prize in the 6-49 Super Lotto of the PCSO if you have
purchased five tickets?
8. You draw 5 cards from a deck of cards. What is the probability that you are dealt
(a) with a flush?

9. An urn contains three red balls, four white balls and two black balls. You draw three balls at random. What
is the probability that
(a) one of the balls is red?
P = C(3,1)*3/9*6/8*5/7
S=9C3
A=3CI X 3CI X 3CI
P=C(3,2)*4/9*3/8*5/7
P=8/21 or 0.38
p= 3! * 3/9*4/8*2/7
P = 2/7 or 0.29
