Solve each problem.

How to solve

To count ways to choose r items from n, use C(n, r) = n! ÷ (r! × (n - r)!). For independent events, P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B); write the probability as a fraction in simplest form.

Example

How many ways can you choose 3 items from a set of 5?

Answer: 10

right so far
1. How many ways can you choose 1 item from a set of 6?
2. Two 6-sided dice are rolled. What is the probability that both show a 6? (as a fraction)
3. How many ways can you choose 3 items from a set of 5?
4. A coin is flipped and a 6-sided die is rolled. What is the probability of getting heads AND rolling a 2? (as a fraction)
5. How many ways can you choose 4 items from a set of 6?
6. A coin is flipped and a 6-sided die is rolled. What is the probability of getting heads AND rolling a 6? (as a fraction)
7. How many ways can you choose 2 items from a set of 5?
8. A coin is flipped and a 6-sided die is rolled. What is the probability of getting heads AND rolling a 5? (as a fraction)
