    PROBLEMS
    1. An elevator containing five people can stop at any of seven floors. What is the
    probability that no two people get off at the same floor? Assume that the occupants
    act independently and that all floors are equally likely for each occupant.

    2. A group of 60 second grade students are to be randomly assigned to two classes of


    30 each. (The random assignment is ordered by the school district to ensure against
    any bias.) Five of the second graders, Marcelle, Sarah, Michelle, Katy, and Cameron,
    are close friends.
    • What is the probability that they will all be in the same class?
    • What is the probability that exactly four of them will be?
    • What is the probability that Marcelle will be in one class and her friends in the
    other?

    3. Six male and six female dancers perform an act called Virginia reel. This dance
    requires that they form a line consisting of six male/female pairs. How many such
    arrangements are there?

    Dear Students, kindly highlight the correct answer with a yellow highlighter
