Suppose there is a bag containing 15 red marbles (R), 15 violet marbles (V), 15 indigo marbles (I), and 15 yellow marbles (Y). Somone mixes the marbles thorougly, draws one marble at random, puts the marble back in the bag, mixes the bag thoroughly, and draws another marble at random. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. (a) List all possible marble-color outcomes of this process. (b) Make the probability distribution showing the probability of drawing 0, 1, and 2 violet marbles. Simplify your answers (fractions or decimals)

“ You are dealt five cards from a standard deck of 52 cards. How many of these handshave at least one queenandat least one spade. ”He breaks this into two cases. In the first case, he looks at hands which contain the queen of spadesQ♠. There is 1 way of choosing the Queen of Spades, and51C4ways of choosing the other fourcards. In the second case, he will start by choosing a non-spade queen (3 ways) and a non-queenspade (12 ways). There are 50 cards remaining, so he also throws away the Queen of Spades sothat he doesn’t overlap case 1. This gives49C3ways of choosing the last three cards. He concludesthat the answer is51C4+ (3·12·49C3). His answer is incorrect. Explain why, and give the correctanswer.

A company is organizing a team-building event with various activities. There are 12 employees attending the event, and they need to be split into three teams: Team A, Team B, and Team C. Each team should have at least 2 members but no more than 6 members. In how many different ways can the teams be formed? (Note: The order of the teams doesn't matter; i.e., Team A, Team B, and Team C is the same as Team C, Team A, and Team B.)
In a gambling game, I roll two dice and win $1 if the sum of my two rolls is largerthan 7. I lose $1 if the sum of my two rolls is smaller than 7. In any other cases, Idon’t lose or win anything. I am going to repeat this game 72 times. c) Now make a box model for the number of times I win, including the values onthe tickets, the number of repeats of each ticket, and how many draws we willmake with replacement from the box. The average of the tickets in the box from (c) is ___________ and the SD is___________.

Buu has 6 different types (named 1 to 6) of chocolates (in large quantity). Now he plays a game to eat those chocolates. He throws a die (of six sides, non-biased, if the die shows 1, he eats chocolate 1. If the die shows 2, he eats chocolate 2 and so on. Now let X be the number of chocolates of type 1 are eaten and Y be the number of chocolates of type 2 are eaten. What is joint PMF of X and Y?
You are trying frantically to get dressed, and you need to reach into your sock drawer to get two matching socks in the dark. Your sock drawer contains 20 socks, consisting of 10 matched pairs. All of them are only black or white, and they are loose, disorganized randomly, and not bound together. This means you have 10 black and 10 white socks in your disorganized drawer. This makes 10 total matching pairs of 5 pairs of white and 5 pairs of black. 1. How can you guarantee success of picking a matching pair? In other words, what is the minimum number of socks needing to be picked to guarantee a matching pair? (Hint: There is a right answer to this question!) 2. Explain dependent and independent trials
At the beginning of a game of chess, the back row consists of two (identical) rooks on the corners, then two knights next to them, then two bishops, and finally a king and a queen in the center. Bobby Fischer, an American chess legend, popularized the idea of randomly shuffled starting positions. Inhow many distinct ways can the eight pieces above be aligned?
