Consider you are in a game of chess. You are black so your opponent is first to move. How many ways can your opponent make his first move? If all outcomes considered equally likely, what is the probability that your opponent will make an opening in a way he can move one of his bishops for the next turn?

Suppose you’re playing Texas Hold ’Em Poker, and you are dealt a hand witha Jack of Clubs and a Queen of Hearts. The river of 5 cards hasn’t been dealtyet, and you’re hoping to get a straight (5 cards with consecutive ranks, such as10,J,Q,K,A or 8,9,10,J,Q). What is the probability that you will get a straightthat uses both the Jack and Queen in your hand? (This last part is to keep theproblem simple, since it’s possible to get a straight that uses neither card in your hand, suchas A,2,3,4,5, all in the river. Besides, in those cases, ALL players would have a straight, sothat’s not so good for you!)Guide: Our goal is to calculate:P(straight using both cards in hand) = # 5-card combinations that get us a straight with the J & Q# 5-card combinations overall .(a) We’ll start with the denominator, which can be done with a singleformula from class: How many 5-card combinations are possible for theriver? (Keep in mind what is in your hand. Note that how many opponents you haveand what…
