Accepted Answer

### Problem 8
# Explanation:
## Step1: Identify face cards
A standard deck has 12 face cards (4 Jacks, 4 Queens, 4 Kings).
## Step2: Probability first face card
Probability of first face card: $\frac{12}{52}$.
## Step3: Probability second face card (no replacement)
After one face card, 11 left, 51 total: $\frac{11}{51}$.
## Step4: Multiply probabilities (independent events with no replacement)
Probability both face cards: $\frac{12}{52} 	imes \frac{11}{51} = \frac{132}{2652} = \frac{11}{221}$.
# Answer: $\frac{11}{221}$

### Problem 9
# Explanation:
## Step1: Probability one American attended
Probability one American attended: $0.9$.
## Step2: Probability four Americans attended (independent events)
Since selections are independent, multiply probabilities: $0.9^4 = 0.6561$.
# Answer: $0.6561$ (or $65.61\%$)

### Problem 10
# Explanation:
## Step1: Probability die > 3
Die has 6 sides. Numbers >3: 4,5,6 (3 outcomes). Probability: $\frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}$.
## Step2: Probability card is heart
Standard deck has 13 hearts. Probability: $\frac{13}{52} = \frac{1}{4}$.
## Step3: Multiply probabilities (independent events)
Probability both events: $\frac{1}{2} 	imes \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{8}$.
# Answer: $\frac{1}{8}$

### Problem 11
# Explanation:
## Step1: Total people
Total people: $6 + 7 = 13$.
## Step2: Total ways to choose 4 people
Combination formula: $_{13}C_4 = \frac{13!}{4!(13 - 4)!} = 715$.
## Step3: Ways to choose 2 men
$_{6}C_2 = \frac{6!}{2!(6 - 2)!} = 15$.
## Step4: Ways to choose 2 women
$_{7}C_2 = \frac{7!}{2!(7 - 2)!} = 21$.
## Step5: Favorable outcomes
Multiply: $15 	imes 21 = 315$.
## Step6: Probability
Probability: $\frac{315}{715} = \frac{63}{143} \approx 0.4399$ (or $43.99\%$).
# Answer: $\frac{63}{143}$ (or $\approx 0.44$)

### Problem 12a
# Explanation:
## Step1: Identify solid pool balls
Standard 15 pool balls: 7 solids (1 - 7) and 7 stripes (9 - 15) and 8? Wait, standard 15: 1 - 7 (solids), 9 - 15 (stripes), 8 is solid? Wait, standard: 1 - 7 (solids), 9 - 15 (stripes), 8 is a solid? Wait, 1 - 8 are solids? No, 1 - 7 solids, 9 - 15 stripes, 8 is a solid? Wait, standard 15 pool balls: 7 solids (1 - 7), 7 stripes (9 - 15), and 8 (solid? Or is 8 a solid? Wait, actually, 1 - 7 (solids), 9 - 15 (stripes), 8 is a solid? Wait, no: 1 - 7 (solids), 9 - 15 (stripes), 8 is a solid (total 8 solids? Wait, 1 - 8 are solids? Wait, standard pool balls: 1 - 7 (solids), 9 - 15 (stripes), 8 is a solid (so 8 solids, 7 stripes? Wait, no: 1 - 7 (solids), 9 - 15 (stripes), 8 is a solid (so 8 solids, 7 stripes). Wait, 15 balls: 1 - 15, excluding 8? No, 1 - 15 includes 8. So solids: 1 - 7, 8? Wait, no, traditional: 1 - 7 (solids), 9 - 15 (stripes), 8 is a solid (so 8 solids, 7 stripes). Wait, maybe the problem considers 1 - 7 as solids (7), 9 - 15 as stripes (7), 8 as a solid (total 8). Wait, the problem says "standard set of 15 pool balls". Let's assume solids are 1 - 7 (7 balls) and 8 (1 ball) – no, maybe the problem considers 1 - 8 as solids (8 balls) and 9 - 15 as stripes (7 balls). Wait, maybe the problem has 8 solids (1 - 8) and 7 stripes (9 - 15). Let's check: 8 + 7 = 15. Yes. So solids: 8 balls, stripes: 7 balls.

## Step1: Probability first solid (with replacement)
Probability first solid: $\frac{8}{15}$.
## Step2: Probability second solid (replaced, so same as first)
Probability second solid: $\frac{8}{15}$.
## Step3: Multiply probabilities (independent events with replacement)
Probability both solid: $\frac{8}{15} 	imes \frac{8}{15} = \frac{64}{225}$.
# Answer: $\frac{64}{225}$ (if solids are 8; if solids are 7, then $\frac{7}{15} 	imes \frac{7}{15} = \frac{49}{225}$. But standard pool balls: 1 - 7 (solids), 9 - 15 (stripes), 8 is a solid (so 8 solids). So answer is $\frac{64}{225}$.)

### Problem 12b
# Explanation:
## Step1: Probability first ball solid
Assume 8 solids (1 - 8), 15 total: $\frac{8}{15}$.
## Step2: Probability second ball odd
Odd numbers in 1 - 15: 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15 (8 odd numbers). Wait, 1 - 15: odd numbers are 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15 (8 numbers). So probability second ball odd: $\frac{8}{15}$.
## Step3: Multiply probabilities (independent events with replacement)
Probability first solid and second odd: $\frac{8}{15} 	imes \frac{8}{15} = \frac{64}{225}$? Wait, no: first ball is solid (8/15), second ball is odd (8/15, since replaced). Wait, but if the first ball is solid (e.g., 1 - 8), and we replace it, the second ball is odd (1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15: 8 numbers). So yes, $\frac{8}{15} 	imes \frac{8}{15} = \frac{64}{225}$. Wait, but maybe the problem considers 1 - 7 as solids (7 balls) and 9 - 15 as stripes (7 balls), 8 as a solid (total 8). So odd numbers in 1 - 15: 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15 (8 numbers). So probability first solid: 8/15, second odd: 8/15. Multiply: 64/225.

Wait, alternatively, if solids are 1 - 7 (7 balls), then first solid: 7/15, second odd: 8/15 (since odd numbers are 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15: 8 numbers). Then probability: 7/15 * 8/15 = 56/225.

But the problem says "standard set of 15 pool balls". Let's confirm: standard pool balls have 1 - 7 (solids), 9 - 15 (stripes), and 8 (solid). So solids: 8 balls (1 - 8), stripes: 7 (9 - 15). So odd numbers: 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15 (8 numbers). So first solid: 8/15, second odd: 8/15. So 8/15 * 8/15 = 64/225.

But maybe the problem considers 1 - 7 as solids (7), 9 - 15 as stripes (7), 8 as a solid (total 8). So yes, 8 solids. So:

## Step1: Probability first solid
$\frac{8}{15}$.
## Step2: Probability second odd
Odd numbers: 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15 (8 numbers). Probability: $\frac{8}{15}$.
## Step3: Multiply
$\frac{8}{15} 	imes \frac{8}{15} = \frac{64}{225}$.
# Answer: $\frac{64}{225}$ (or if solids are 7, $\frac{56}{225}$; but likely 8 solids, so $\frac{64}{225}$)
