In some city, 50% of the eligible voters prefer candidate A, 40% prefer candidate B, 10% have no preference. You randomly sample 12 eligible voters. What is the probability that all of them will prefer candidate A? Define a random variable X to be the number of candidate A Which values may have the random variable X?

There was a baseball game between Oscar and Gabe. The chance of Oscar winning is 3/5 (60%). The chance of Gabe winning is 2/5 (40%). This game wasn't a one game competition. It's the best of 5 series. This means the first person to win 3 games is the overall champion. What's the probability (% is best) that Oscar is the champion? Don't answer this question as Oscar with a 60% chance and Gabe as a 40% chance. Also, don’t use the equation for finding multiple events for probability.
