Ponderosa Paint and Glass carries three brands of paint. A customer wants to buy another gallon of paint to match paint she purchased at the store previously. She can’t recall the brand name and does not wish to return home to find the old can of paint. So, she selects two of the three brands of paint at random and buys them. What is the probability that she matched the paint brand? Her husband also goes to the paint store and fails to remember what brand to buy. So, he also purchases two of the three brands of paint at random. Determine the probability that both the woman and her husband fail to get the correct brand of paint. (Hint: Are the husband’s selections independent of the wife’s selections?)
Consider the following game: A player rolls two dice. If he rolls 7 or less then he loses the game. Otherwise, he selects at random as many cards from the full deck as the sum of the numbers that came up on the dice. The player wins if all four Aces are among the selected cards. (a) What is the winning probability for this game? (b) Someone tells that he played this game once and won. What is the probability that he rolled a sum of 10?

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..
