A ship has a flag pole which has 3 different positions in which it can fly a flag. Assume the ship carries four flags of which two are identical solid red and two are identical solid blue. (a) How many different one-flag (i.e only one flag up out of three) signals could be displayed? (Assume that the same flag, flown in a different position, is a different signal.)

A shoe has twelve eyelets. A shoelace can go through each eyelet in two different ways: one way going in/toward the shoe, and another way coming out/away from the body of the shoe through the eyelet away from the shoe. After we get the shoelace through an eyelet, we must put the shoelace through a different eyelet (in/toward or out/away from the shoe), until the shoelace passes through all twelve eyelets once, and no more than once. How many (different) ways are there to tie the shoelace to the shoe in this procedure?

At a carnival, an individual can win a prize by choosing a rubber duck from a pond with "Win" written on the underside of the duck. There are a total of eight ducks with "Win" written on the underside of the duck, and there are 17 ducks with "Lose" written on the underside of the duck. After each pick, if a prize is won, the duck is replaced in the pond. If a prize is not won, then the duck is again placed back into the pond. If an individual makes four picks, what is the probability the individual will win a prize exactly one time? (4) (0.32) (0.68) 1! 4! (0.32)¹ (0.68)³ O2(0.32)(0.68) (0.32) (0.68)³
