Anyone know how to figure out these probability questions? This stuff just got confusing..
This is for a finite math course and the chapter is on the "Probability Theory"
1) A young couple is planning to have 5 children. What is the probability that at least two of the children will have a birthday in the same month?
2) Four cherry pies and two apple pies are to be divided between two families, the Whittys and the Rasmussens. If the pies are distributed randomly and each family gets the same number of pies, what is the probability that the Rasmussens will get three cherry pies?
3) A card is cut from a shuffled deck and removed; then a second card is cut from the deck. What is the probability of cutting two face cards, given that the first card is a face card?
See.. to me, all these questions sound the same but I think they're done differently. No, this isn't for homework but for studying for a quiz.
Can anyone help?
