We return to our box of chocolates. There are 30 chocolates in the box, all identically shaped. Five are filled with coconut, 10 with caramel, and 15 are solid chocolate. You randomly select one piece, eat it, and then select a second piece. Find the probability of selecting two caramel-filled chocolates in a row.
Consider a political discussion group consisting of 5 Democrats, 6 Republicans, and 4 Independents. Suppose that two group members are randomly selected, in succession, to attend a political convention. Find the probability of selecting no Independents.
A television programmer is arranging the order in which five movies will be seen between the hours of 6 P.M. and 4 A.M. Two of the movies have a \(G\) rating, and they are to be shown in the first two time blocks. One of the movies is rated NC-17, and it is to be shown in the last of the time blocks, from 2 A.M. until 4 A.M. Given these restrictions, in how many ways can the five movies be arranged during the indicated time blocks?
A coin is tossed and a die is rolled. Find the probability of getting The probability that South Florida will be hit by a major hurricane (category 4 or 5 ) in any single year is \(\frac{1}{16}\). (Source: National Hurricane Center) a. What is the probability that South Florida will be hit by a major hurricane two years in a row? b. What is the probability that South Florida will be hit by a major hurricane in three consecutive years? c. What is the probability that South Florida will not be hit by a major hurricane in the next ten years? d. What is the probability that South Florida will be hit by a major hurricane at least once in the next ten years?
A restaurant offers the following limited lunch menu. $$ \begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|} \hline \text { Main Course } & \text { Vegetables } & \text { Beverages } & \text { Desserts } \\ \hline \text { Ham } & \text { Potatoes } & \text { Coffee } & \text { Cake } \\\ \hline \text { Chicken } & \text { Peas } & \text { Tea } & \text { Pie } \\ \hline \text { Fish } & \text { Green beans } & \text { Milk } & \text { Ice cream } \\ \hline \text { Beef } & & \text { Soda } & \\ \hline \end{array} If one item is selected from each of the four groups, in how many ways can a meal be ordered? Describe two such orders. $$
