Peter went shopping for dinner. The vendor “accidentally” mixed all the chicken and duck eggs. Suppose that it is known that the probability of getting a chicken egg is 12/29, that of a fresh egg is 15/29, and that of a fresh chicken egg is 8/29. If Peter will select an egg at random, what is the probability that she will get: a. a fresh egg given that it is a chicken egg? b. a chicken egg given that it is not fresh?

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..
