A student is to answer 12 out of 15 questions on an exam. How many choices does he have?
Imagine a game show on television where one lucky contestant is presented with three upside-down
buckets that are numbered 1, 2, and 3. Under one of the buckets is a five-ounce gold bar. Under each of
the other two buckets is a lump of coal. After the game ends, the contestant receives what is under his or
her bucket.
The host of the game show asks the contestant to choose one of the three buckets. After the contestant
makes a choice, the host lifts up one of the remaining two buckets to reveal a lump of coal under it. At
this point, only two buckets remain uncovered: the bucket that the contestant originally chose and the
bucket that was not uncovered by the host.
The host subsequently asks the contestant if he or she would like to keep the original bucket or change
buckets to the only other bucket remaining.
1. If the contestant does not change buckets and stays with the original bucket chosen, what is the
probability that the contestant will win the five-ounce gold bar? ( Select)

- A table has 6 rows and 6 columns. The 36 entries are pairs of faces of dice, one blue and one white, so each pair corresponds to one of the 36 possible rolls of two dice. Faces are depicted as colored squares, either blue or white, marked with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 dots (pips). Column numbers correspond to values of the blue die in each pair: all pairs in column 1 have blue 1, all pairs in column 2 have blue 2, and so on. Row numbers correspond to values of the white die in each pair: all pairs in row 1 have white 1, all pairs in row 2 have white 2, and so on. For example, the top left pair at column 1, row 1 is blue 1, white 1. The column 1, row 2 pair is blue 1, white 2. The column 2, row 1 pair is blue 2, white 1, and so on. The bottom right pair is blue 6, white 6. A.
