1. The probability of selecting a pack with less than 20 candies when selecting 3 packs from a thousand packs where 40 contain less than 20 pieces is approximately 0.012 or 1.2%. 2. The probabilities of a) none being defective, b) two being defective, and c) three or more being defective for a pack of 200 items where the defect rate is estimated at 1.5% are approximately 0.985, 0.015, and less than 0.001, respectively. 3. The probability that the 6th person to hear a tale about life and death is the 4th one to believe it is 0.8 * 0.8 * 0.8 * 0.2 * 0
