There are 12 students in my class - 10 males and 2 females. a. If I pick a team of 5 students randomly to answer a difficult question, what is the probability that there is at least 1 female in my team? b. I have 1 difficult question per lecture. If I pick a student randomly to answer this difficult question in every lecture, what is the probability that I will pick a female at least once in my next 5 lectures?

Clue is a board game in which you must deduce three details surrounding a murder. In the original game of Clue, the guilty person can be chosen from 66 people, and there are 66 different possible weapons and 99 possible rooms.
