10. A basket contains six red and four blue marbles. Three marbles are drawn at random without replacement.with a tree diagram and (WITHOUT using combinations)determine the probability that:

Enter probability as a fraction or as a decimal rounded to nearest thousandth (three places)

a. all three marbles drawn are red

b.two marbles drawn are red and one is blue (order of selection doesn't matter)

c one marble drawn is red and the other two marbles drawn are blue (order of selection doesn't matter)

c.the first marble randomly drawn is red; the second marble randomly drawn is blue; and the third marble randomly drawn is red (now order of selection DOES matter)

11. A committee of four is selected from a total of 4 freshmen, 5 sophomores, and 6 juniors (obviously without replacement since one person can't simultaneously fill two committee spots). Enter probability as a fraction or as a decimal rounded to nearest thousandth (three places).Examples of correctly entered responses:=

Using combinations, determine the probability that:

a.at least three freshmen.are selected

b.all four selected are of the same class (order of selection doesn't matter)

c.all four selected are NOT of the same class (order of selection doesn't matter)

d.exactly three of the same class are selected (order of selection doesn't matter)

12. At Faber College, 20% of the students take Finite Math, 30% take History, and 5% take both Finite Math and History. If a single student is chosen at random, find the probability that: Enter answer as a percentage rounded to the nearest tenth

a.the randomly selected student is taking Finite Math given that said student is taking History

b. the randomly selected student is taking History given that said student is taking Finite Math

13. Use expected value calculation method to find the following:

In a European country, 20.0% of the families have 3.0 children, 40.0% have 2.0 children, 30.0% have 1.0 child, and 10.0% have 0.0 children. On average, how many children are there to a family?

Enter answer as a number rounded to the nearest tenth (one place after decimal).Examples of correctly entered responses:

14. A Texas oil drilling company has determined that it costs $25,000 to sink a test well. If oil is hit, the net revenue for the company will be $475,000 (which is $500,000 gross revenue - $25,000 drilling cost). If natural gas is found, the net revenue will be $125,000 (which is $150,000 gross revenue - $25,000 drilling cost). If the probability of hitting oil is 3.00% and of hitting gas is 6.00%, find the expected value of sinking a test well.

Enter answer in dollars rounded to the nearest cent (two places after decimal
