6! or 720 arrangements.\n\n2 * 4! or 48 with vowels at the ends, so it's a 1/15 chance.\n\nEdit: Yeah, I messed up.  Forgot the *2.

0.12 \nP(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A)P(B|A) = 0.1 + 0.1 - 0.1(0.8)

First choose which number it is.  There are 6 numbers, so there are C(6,1) = 6 choices.\nThe probability of that number is 1/6\nSince there are three\n(1/6)(1/6)(1/6) = 1/216\nNow multiply this times 6\n6/216 = 1/36

The probability of A is 26%.  Probability of B is 42%.  Both A and B is 7%.  Probability of neither = 100% - [(26%+42%)-7%] = 39%.  Or in your format, 0.39.

This probability problem can be used using Binomial Distribution.  \n\nGiven a number of 'x' success, the probability in a binomial experiment is:\n\nP(x) = [n choose x]*p^x*q^(n-x)\n\nwhere:\n\nn choose x is a combination problem: n!/[(n-x)!x!]\np = probability of success\nq = probability of failure\nn = total selection\nx = successes\n\nIn this problem, we are looking for at least one case has a success (which is one of the highest 9 numbers).  In essence, we are solving for:\n\nP(x=1) + P(x=2) + P(x=3) + P(x=4) + P(X=5).  \n\nHowever it would be easier to find the probability of the failures and subtract from the total probability because we only have to calculate 1 probability.  This would be:\n\n1 - P(x=0) is what we are looking for.  Now all we need is to calculate the probabilty.\n\nFor P(x=0), we have the following:\n\nn = 5\nx = 0\np = (9/26) = probability of success\nq = (17/26) = probability of failure\n\nPlugging into P(x), we get:\n\nP(x=0) = (5!/5!)(9/26)^0(17/26)^5\n\nSolving, you get P(x=0) = 0.12\n\nTherefore, \n\n1 - P(x=0) is ------>\n\n1- 0.12 = 0.88\n\nBelow is a website devoted to Binomial Distribution exercises\n---------\n\nHope this helps

If the probability of picking an A is .5 and the probability of picking a B given an A is picked  is .3   \n Find the probability of picking both A and B?\n\nAnswer:     Pr(A) = .5   \n                  Pr(B/A) = .3 \n                  Pr(A∩B) = ? \n \n\n Pr(A∩B) =  Pr(B/A) * Pr(A) \n                = .3*.5\n                =.15    that is the answer.

I'll do some for you to show how they are done. In all cases probability P = #number of good throws/ # of all throws.\nAlso 1-P = #number of bad throws/ # of all throws\nOften you can arrive at a solution by considering the dices one by one.\n1) First dice can be everyting, second dice can be one of the five numbers not yet thrown, third dice can be one of the four numbers not yet thrown, etc. This leads to P = (6/6) * (5/6) * ... *(1/6) =720/46656 = 0.0154\n2) Divide the dice in three pairs, named A,B and C. The probability to throw a pair of two's with pair A is 1/36. Idem for B and C. But we have 6 posibilities to arrange the pairs ABC, ACB, ... And we have 6x5x4x3x2x1 possibilities to arrange the dice into the three pairs. Therefore P = 6 x 720 x (1/36)^3 = 0.0926\n3) First dice 1, second dice 1, third dice 1 gives a probability of (1/6)^3 = 1/216. But there are 20 possibilities to arrange the dice.\nP=20/216 = 0.0926

P(Last is W) = P{(2nd is W and 1st is W) or (2nd is B and 1st is W)}\n= P(2nd is W and 1st is W) + P(2nd is B and 1st is W) (since these are mutually exclusive events)\n= P(2nd is W)P(1st is W|2nd is W) + P(2nd is B)P(1st is W|2nd is B) (both use the general multiplication rule)\n= (6/10)(7/11) + (4/10)(6/11)\n= (42+24)/110\n= 66/110\n= 0.6\n\nWhich is the probability of getting a white from either box, which I think makes sense, since both have the same proportion of whites.

Sue prob.: 9/10\nAnn prob.: 3/5\n\nThese are the fractional forms of .9 and .6, respectively.\n\nFor both passing, multiply the probabilities.\nFor neither passing, multiply the probabilities that Sue and Ann both do not pass.  To get this, subtract the probability they do pass from one.\n\nBoth pass: 9/10 times 3/5 = 27/50 \nNeither: (1-9/10) times (1-3/5) = 1/10 times 2/5 = 2/50 = 1/25\n\nThe probability that Sue passes, as you have said, does not depend on whether Ann passes or not.  That means that the probability Sue passes (whether Ann passes or not) is .9
