Assume that the business makes a profit with probability 0.6 in the first year. For each year thereafter, the business makes a profit with probability 0.9 if it made a profit in the previous year, and with probability 0.2 if it did not make a profit in the previous year. What is the probability that the business makes a profit in exactly two of its first three years?

Jeri is listening to the songs on a new CD in random order. She will listen to two different songs, and will buy the CD if she likes both of them. Assume that there are 10 songs on the CD and that she would like 5 of them. Before she had listened to any of the songs on the CD, what would have been the probability that she would buy the CD? Hint: To find this probability, first find the number of combinations of 2 out of the 5 songs that she likes (how many different combinations of 2 out of the 5 songs are there?). Then find the number of combinations of 2 out of the 10 songs on the CD (how many different combinations of 2 songs can she pick from the CD?). Take the number of combinations of the 5 songs she likes and divide that by the number of combinations of the 10 songs..
