From a group of 4 men and 5 women, how many committees of size 3 are possible (a) with no restrictions? (b) with 1 man and 2 women? (c) with 2 men and 1 woman if a certain man must be on the committee? 2. Independent flips of a coin that lands on heads with probability p are made. What is the probability that (a) the first head appears on the fourth flip? (b) the second head appears on the sixth flip? (c) The pattern'1,H,H,H appears before the pattern H,H,H,H,? 2, A paint-store chain produces and sells latex and semigloss paint. Based on long-range sales the probability that a customer will purchase latex paint is 0.75. Of those that purchase latex paint, 60% also purchase rollers. But only 30% of semigloss paint buyers purchase rollers. A randomly selected buyer purchases a roller and a can of paint. What is the probability that the paint is latex? 4, What is the probability that no two students will have the same birth date in a size of 60 class? State your assunptions. 5.
