His school plays fivehome games and his five acceptances come on the 3rd, 6th, 4th, 2nd, and 9th girl heasks. Assume that the probability, 6, that any girl he asks will accept his invitationis constant from girl to girl. Mind ML estimate of 6.

Benjamin attended his town's annual Worm Charming Competition. Contestants are assigned to a square foot of land, where they have 30 minutes to "charm" worms to the surface of the dirt using a single technique. Benjamin observed contestants' charming techniques, and kept track of how many worms surfaced. The probability that a contestant tried singing into the ground is 0.5, the probability that a contestant charmed 21- 30 worms is 0.2 and the probability that a contestant tried singing into the ground and charmed 21-30 worms is 0.1. What is the probability that a randomly chosen contestant tried singing into the ground or charmed 21-30 worms?
