Mrs. Schultzkie has to correct papers for three different classes: Algebra, Geometry, and Trig. If Mrs. Schultzkie corrects the papers for each class at random, what is the probability she corrects Algebra papers first? Write your answer as a fraction in the form a/b (for example 1/7, 3/91)
An ice cream parlor has 30 flavors but Su likes only half of them. If the scooper makes a three-scoop ice cream cone at random (using three different flavors), What is the probability Su will like all three flavors? Write your answer as a fraction in the form a/b (for example 1/7, 3/91) Please reduce the fraction.
Mr. and Mrs. Kappler bought ten books and plan to give one at random to each of their five kids. If there is only one such way to distribute the books that will make every kid happy with their book, what is the probability that every kid will be happy with his or her book? Write your answer as a fraction in the form a/b (for example 1/7, 3/91)
