How many glue sticks are in a basket containing 96 scissors, if the ratio of glue sticks to scissors is 19 to 57.

Consider an example of a deck of 52 cards: example set of 52 playing cards: 13 of each suit clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades ace 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 jack queen king clubs diamonds hearts spades what is the probability of drawing three queens from a standard deck of cards, given that the first card drawn was a queen? assume that the cards are not replaced.

Aprisoner is trapped in a cell containing three doors. the first door leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after two days of travel. the second leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after three days of travel. the third door leads immediately to freedom. (a) assuming that the prisoner will always select doors 1, 2 and 3 with probabili- ties 0.5,0.3,0.2 (respectively), what is the expected number of days until he reaches freedom? (b) assuming that the prisoner is always equally likely to choose among those doors that he has not used, what is the expected number of days until he reaches freedom? (in this version, if the prisoner initially tries door 1, for example, then when he returns to the cell, he will now select only from doors 2 and 3.) (c) for parts (a) and (b), find the variance of the number of days until the prisoner reaches freedom. hint for part (b): define ni to be the number of additional days the prisoner spends after initially choosing door i and returning to his cell.
