I'll do the first then leave you to try the other two and post your suggested answer
The first is 6/37 x 8/37
Question Author
I'm sorry,I haven't done this forever, how do I do those again?
The first is simple non-replacement. See if you can follow my calculation. If you can't you need to read up on the basic principles of how to calculate probability.
If you can follow it then try the others. Some are replacement problems, some non-replacement problems.
For
11 is non-replacement

answer = (5/14 ) x (2/13)
You will need to simplify.
Check you know where the figures have come from. (Hint- 14 items initially, 13 left after Jack has picked one)
