This is about probability and combinations.

a) 0.0286

b) 0.6286

c) 0.3429

d) 0.04, 0.64, 0.32

Total number of songs in music player = 15 tracksNumber of songs you like = 3 songsNumber of songs you don't like = 15 - 3 = 12A) Probability you will like the first one = 3/15

After the first one, there are 14 left and 2 you may like. Probability you will like the second one = 2/14. Thus;

P(you like both of the first two played) = 3/15 × 2/14

P(you like both of the first two played) = 0.0286

B) Probability you will not like the first one = 12/15

After the first one, there are 14 left and 11 you may not like. Probability you will not like the second one = 11/14. Thus;

P(you like both of the first two played) = 12/15 × 11/14

P(you like neither of the first two played) = 0.6286

C) Probability you like exactly one of them means you may like the first and dislike the second or you may dislike the first and like the second. Thus, this probability is;

P(like exactly one of the first two) = (3/15 × 12/14) + (12/15 × 3/14)

P(like exactly one of the first two) = 0.3429

d) If a song is replayed before all, then;

a) P(you like neither of the first two played) = 3/15 × 3/15

P(you like neither of the first two played) = 0.04

b) P(you like neither of the first two played) = 12/15 × 12/15

P(you like neither of the first two played) = 0.64

c) P(like exactly one of the first two) = (3/15 × 12/15) + (12/15 × 3/15)

P(like exactly one of the first two) = 0.32
