Let A denote the event of placing a $1 straight bet on a certain lottery and winning. Suppose that, for this particular lottery, there are 2,940 different ways that you can select the four digits (with repetition allowed) in this lottery, and only one of those four-digit numbers will be the winner. What is the value of P(A)? What is the value of P(A)?

A certain university has 9 vehicles available for use by faculty and staff. Five of these are vans and 4 are cars. On a particular day, only two requests for vehicles have been made. Suppose that the two vehicles to be assigned are chosen in a completely random fashion from among the 9. (Enter your answers as fractions.) (a) Let E denote the event that the first vehicle assigned is a van. What is the value of P(E)? (b) Let F denote the probability that the second vehicle assigned is a van. What is the value of P(F | E)? (c) Use the results of parts (a) and (b) to calculate P(E ∩ F).
Outside a home, there is a 6-key keypad numbered 1 through 6. The correct five-digit code will open the garage door. The numbers can be repeated in the code. (a) How many codes are possible? (b) What is the probability of entering the correct code on the first try, assuming that the owner doesn't remember the code? (a) The number of possible codes is (Type an integer or fraction. Simplify your answer.) (b) The probability that the correct code is given on the first try, assuming that the owner doesn't remember it is (Type an integer or fraction. Simplify your answer.)

The access code for a garage door consists of three digits. Each digit can be any number from 1 through 7, and each digit can be repeated. Complete parts (a) through (c). (a) Find the number of possible access codes. (b) What is the probability of randomly selecting the correct access code on the first try? (c) What is the probability of not selecting the correct access code on the first try?
Lotto America is a daily game consisting of betting $1 on one of any three digit random nonnegative integers from 000 to 999. If your number is selected, you are returned $500. What is your expected value if you choose one number to play the game? Suppose you play the game every day for 500 consecutive days. How much can you expect to win or lose playing the game for 500 consecutive days?
Zia drew 10 cards in order from an ordinary deck of cards, returning the card each time and if the number of red cards drawn is at most 2, she will give her mother a 5,000 worth SM gift certificate. Otherwise, she will buy her new kitchenware. Which of the following statement(s) is(are) TRUE? * O Let X bethe number of red cards drawn. Then X binomial(10,0.5) The probability that she will buy her mother a new kitchenware is 0.0547 O Both I and II O Neither I nor II Suppose it has been observed that an average of 180 vehicles passes by 1 their house between 8 and 9 AM on Wednesday mornings. During that time slot on any Wednesday morning, Zia counted the number of passing vehicles. If at most 3 vehicles pass by their house in any two minutes, she will give her mother a new watch. Otherwise, she will give her a necklace. Which of the following statement(s) is(are) TRUE? * The number of vehicles passing by Zia's house in two minutes deviates from the mear of 180 by 180.
