The Senior Class sponsor at a high school has enough extra money in the Grad Night budget to pay for meals for 3 of the 9 volunteer faculty members chaperoning the students on the trip. The volunteers are comprised of 6 teachers and 3 paraeducators. The Senior Class Sponsor selects the 3 people who will receive free meal vouchers and states that the people were selected at random. The 3 people selected were all paraeducators. All of the volunteers were curious how no teachers were picked for a free meal voucher if the choice were truly random.
(a) Calculate the probability that randomly selecting 3 people from a group of 6 teachers and 3 paraeducators will result in selecting 3 paraeducators.
(b) Based on your answer to part (a), is there reason to doubt the Senior Class Sponsor’s claim that the 3 people were selected at random? Explain.
(c) An alternative to calculating the exact probability is to conduct a simulation to estimate the probability. A proposed simulation process is described below.
Each trial in the simulation consists of rolling three fair, six-sided dice, one die for each of the Grad Night chaperones. For each die, rolling a 1, 2, 3, or 4 represents selecting a teacher; rolling a 5 or 6 represents selecting a paraeducator. After 1,000 trials, the number of times the dice indicate selecting 3 paraeducators is recorded.
Does the proposed process correctly simulate the random selection of 3 paraeducators from a group of 9 people consisting of 6 teachers and 3 paraeducators? Explain why or why not.

Christine wong has asked dave and mike to her move into a new apartment on sunday morning. she has asked them both, in case one of them does not show up. from past experience, christine knows that there is a 40% chance that dave will not show up and a 30% chance that mik a. what is the probability that both dave and mike will show up? (round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. what is the probability that at least one of them will show up? c. what is the probability that neither dave nor mike will show up? (round your answer to 2 decimal places.)e will not show up. dave and mike do not know each other and their decisions can be assumed to be independent.
