Suppose you are looking for a new car and have narrowed down your decision down to a Mustang, but can’t decide on the exact color, transmission, engine, or options package. There are three sizes of engine (3.0 liters, 3.8 liters, and 4.6 liters), two transmissions (standard and automatic), five colors you like (black, silver, red, yellow, and green), and three option packages (GL, Sport, and XL). With all these possible choices, you want to know how many different Mustangs there are from which you must choose. How many different Mustangs are possible?
According to the 2000 U.S. Census Bureau, 49.65% of Texas residents were male. Consider the experiment of selecting ten Texans at random. If you are interested in determining the probabilities of selecting x males, is this a binomial probability distribution? And if so, what are the values of n, p, and q?
How many 5-digit numbers can be formed using the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, if repetition of digits is not allowed?
