Suppose there is a bowl of 22 Hershey's Miniatures candy bars on the table containing 3 Mr. Goodbars (G), 8 Krackel bars (K), and 11 Hershey chocolate bars (H). Someone already ate all the Special Dark chocolate bars since dark chocolate is good for you. You are golng to grab 5 bars, without replacement. (Who'd want to replace them? We'd still eat 'em). Setup and calculate each probability below. Express your answer in decimal form, including as many decimal places as your calculator will give you. P(all 5 are Hershey chocolate bars): Set up: Result: P(3 are Mr. Goodbars, and 2 are Krackel bars): Set up: Result: P(3 are Krackel bars, and 2 are Hershey chocolate bars): Result: Set up: P(nane of the 5 bars are Hershey chocolate bars): Besult Set up:

Suppose you are playing a game of Yahtzee. You know that you play with 5 dice, each with 6 sides. Since the dice are all rolled at the same time, let the roll (5, 4, 3, 2, 1) to be equal to (2, 4, 5, 1, 3). Assume for this question that we will only be rolling the dice once. (i) How many ways can you roll all the dice? (ii) To win 50 points you would need all the dice to roll the same number (ex. (1, 1, 1, 1, 1)). How many ways can you win the 50 points? (iii) Suppose you are trying to get your dice to roll only consecutive numbers (ex. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) or (2, 3, 4, 5, 6)) How many different ways are there to do this? (iv) Suppose instead you are trying to get your dice to roll 4 consecutive numbers (ex. (1, 2, 3, 4, 1) or (2, 3, 4, 5, 3)) How many different ways are there to do this? (make sure to not count any only consecutive numbers) This is a combinatorics math counting problem.
