A box contains seven chips, each of which is numbered (one number on each chip). The number 1 appears on one chip. The number 4 appears on one chip. The number 2 appears on three chips. The number 3 appears on two chips. Two chips are to be randomly sampled from the box without replacement. Let X be the sum of the numbers on the two chips to be sampled. (a) Write out all of the possible outcomes for this...

2.+ Question Details My Notes Ask Your Teacher A friend of mine is giving a dinner party. His current wine supply includes 8 bottles of zinfandel, 9 of merlot, and 10 of cabernet (he only drinks red wine), all from different wineries. (a) If he wants to serve 3 bottles of zinfandel and serving order is important, how many ways are there to do this? ways (b) If 6 bottles of wine are to be randomly selected from the 27...
A soft drink company is conducting research to select a new design for their can. A sample of 9 participants has been selected. Instead of a typical taste test with two different sodas, they give each participant the same soda twice. One drink is served in a predominantly red can, the other in a predominantly blue can. The order the two cans are used is chosen randomly. Participants are asked to rate each drink on a scale of 1 to...
