A company makes pens called “Surprise Ink.” All of these pens look identical on the outside, but they contain ink that is one of the following colors: blue, red, green, or purple. A teacher has 16 of these pens: 2 purple, 6 blue, 5 red, and 3 green. The teacher is headed to a coffee shop to grade midterms, so he randomly grabs 4 of his “Surprise Ink” pens. a) What is the probability that he grabbed one pen of each color?Write a percent rounded to 1 decimal place. b) What is the probability that exactly 2 of the pens he grabbed are red?Write a percent rounded to 1 decimal place. c) What is the probability that at least 1 of the pens he grabbed are red?Write a percent rounded to 1 decimal place.
7) Suppose a baseball team has 14 players on the roster who are not members of the pitching staff. Of those 14 players, assume that three have recently taken a performance-enhancing drug. Suppose the league decides to randomly test five members of the team. What is the probability that exactly two of the tested players are found to have taken a performance-enhancing drug?

The table below is a two-way contingency table which describes the method of suicide employed by each gender in the US. A suicide case will be randomly selected. What is the probability a case will involve a hanging? ["", "", "", "", ""] What is the chance the case will involve a female and firearms? ["", "", "", "", ""] What is the chance the case will involve a male or poison? ["", "", "", "", ""] Suppose you learn the selected case involved firearms. What is the chance the case involves a female knowing that it involved firearms?
A container contains 15 diesel engines. The company chooses 8 engines at random, and will not ship the container if any of the engines chosen are defective. Find the probability that a container will be shipped even though it contains 2 defectives if the sample size is 8. The probability the container will be shipped is (Round to the nearest thousandth as needed.)
An urn has 13 balls that are identical except that 7 are white and 6 are red. A sample of 8 is selected randomly without replacement. What is the probability that exactly 6 are white and 2 are red? What is the probability that at least 6 of the balls are white?
The survey by the National Center for Health Statistics further found that 49% of adults ages 25–29 had only a cell phone and no landline. We randomly select four 25–29-year-olds: a) What is the probability that all of these adults have a only a cell phone and no landline? b) What is the probability that none of these adults have only a cell phone and no landline? c) What is the probability that at least one of these adults has only a cell phone and no landline?
A warehouse employs 28 workers on first shift, 17 workers on second shift, and 11 workers on third shift. Eight workers are chosen at random to be interviewed about the work environment. Find the probability of choosing exactly five first-shift workers. The probability of choosing exactly five first-shift workers is (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
