1.The probability of dying if you play high school football is about 10 per million each year you play. The risk of getting cancer from asbestos if you attend a school in which asbestos is present for 10 years is about 5 per million. If we ban asbestos from schools, should we also ban high school football? Briefly explain your position.

2.A meteorologist, predicting below-average snowfall this winter, says, "First, in looking at the past few winters, there has been above-average snowfall. Even though we are not supposed to use the law of averages, we are due." Do you think that "due by the law of averages" makes sense in talking about the weather? Explain.
