Q1:
(i) six defence players are chosen from twenty five hockey players,the possible is C(25,6),then,five forward players are chosen from the other nineteen ,possible is C(19,5);
so,there can be C(25,6)*C(19,5) teams;
(ii) six defence players are chosen from the ten available,the possible is C(10,6),and,five forward players are chosen from the fifteen available,possible is C(15,5);
so,there can be C(10,6)*C(15,5) teams
Q2:
(i) As Seventy percent of the first-year students are male,there are
12(40*30%) students are female from 40 first-year students. and seven of the female students graduated from high school the year before,so 5(12-7)female students took a “gap-year”;
To conclude, the probability is 1/8(5/40)that a randomly selected first-year student is both female and took a “gap-year”.
(ii)The probability is 1/2(half of 40)that given a randomly selected from 40 first-year students are “gap-year”ones, and the probability is 3/8[(1/2)*(15/20)]that given a randomly selected 40 first-year studes are male from “gap-year”ones.
So, the probability is 3/4 [(3/8)/(1/2)]that given a randomly selected student took a “gap-year” the student is male.
Q3:
(i) there are 22(13+12-3) red cards or face cards,so the probability is 11/27(22/54) that the card drawn is a red card or a face card.
(ii)the probability of having only odd numbers result when an unbiased six-sided die is rolled one time is 1/2(3/6);
when an unbiased six-sided die is rolled five times, the probability of having only odd numbers result is 1/32(1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2).
