An urn contains 3 red and 7 black balls. Players \(A\) and \(B\) withdraw balls from the urn consecutively until a red ball is selected. Find the probability that \(A\) selects the red ball. \((A\) draws the first ball, then \(B,\) and so on. There is no replacement of the balls drawn.)
Sixty percent of the students at a certain school wear neither a ring nor a necklace. Twenty percent wear a ring and 30 percent wear a necklace. If one of the students is chosen randomly, what is the probability that this student is wearing (a) a ring or a necklace? (b) a ring and a necklace?
If 8 rooks (castles) are randomly placed on a chessboard, compute the probability that none of the rooks can capture any of the others. That is, compute the probability that no row or file contains more than one rook.
Two dice are thrown. Let \(E\) be the event that the sum of the dice is odd, let \(F\) be the event that at least one of the dice lands on \(1,\) and let \(G\) be the event that the sum is \(5 .\) Describe the events \(E F, E \cup F, F G, E F^{c},\) and \(E F G\).
Two cards are chosen at random from a deck of 52 playing cards. What is the probability that they (a) are both aces? (b) have the same value?
