is it possible to transport the 9 people to the ski lodge using all cars?
2. A man and his wife invite 8 of their friends to dinner. They are to be sitted around a round table. How many seating
arrangements can be made,
A. if the man and his wife are to sit side by side?
B. If the man and his wife sit opposite each other?
3. A class has 12 boys and 4 girls, suppose 3 students are selected at random from the class, find the probability that
they are all boys?
4. Two cards are drawn in succession from a deck without replacement. What is the probability that both cards are
greater than 2 and less than 8?
5. In a poker hand consisting 5 cards, find the probability of holding 4 hearts and 1 club.

from each box. Find the probability that one is red and one is blue.
