Eight athletes are running a race. A gold medal is to be given to the winner, a silver medal is to be given to the second-place finisher, and a bronze medal is to be given to the third-place finisher. Assume that there are no ties. In how many possible ways can the 3 medals be distributed? (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) X 5 ?

The Olympic Summer Games is an international multi-sport event that has been held every four years since 1896. Competitors from countries across the world compete against one another, representing their countries, in one or more sports events such as wrestling, rowing, high jump, running races, etc. Events may be separated by the sex of the competitors (male or female) or may be mixed (i.e. males and females competing with each other in the same event). At the end of each...

At the State High School Track and Field Championships, Joaquin is one of seven students to qualify for the finals of the 100 Meters race. Gold, silver and bronze medals will be awarded to the first, second, and third place finishers. Considering that there can be no ties and assuming that all runners have an equal chance of success, what is the probability that Joaquin will bring home some kind of medal in this event? (HINT: How many ways could...

3. Two different events can occur called A and B. The probability that A occurs is 0.90, the probability that B is 0.70, while the probability that both occur is 0.65. Are the two events independent? What is the probability that either of the events occurs? If B occurs, what is the probability that A will occur? Sixty four athletes are to compete for an Olympic event. How many distinct ways can the three medals, gold, silver, and bronze be...
