In these trying times, I’m thinking about starting my own school – the Redman Academy. The school day will consist of 3 periods each day and the school will offer 10 different courses. Each student enrolls in 3 courses per semester and each course is taught during every period (i.e., each course is taught 3 times per day). Students pick classes and but are assigned a period. Courses have no prerequisites

a) As a new student, how many different lists of three courses could you submit to the registrar?

b) You and your best friend choose the same three courses. What is the probability that you have the exact same schedule (i.e., you are assigned the same periods for each of the three classes.)?

c) Your lazy friend randomly selected 3 courses and is relying on you for copies of class notes. What is the probability that you and your lazy friend share 2 of the same courses (they don’t necessarily have to be the exact same period)?

d) Still considering the last problem with your lazy friend, what is the probability that you share no classes?

Mark and Betty are thinking about starting a family. In preparation for this new phase of their life, they visited a local hospital to learn about the costs of delivery and care. They learned that the average cost for a normal birth is $7,500. This took Mark’s breath away, until he remembered his employer-provided insurance coverage, under which he and Betty are covered. The plan features are as follows. ● $500 per person deductible. ● 20% coinsurance. ● $3,000 out-of-pocket...

Psychologist Robert Rosenthal (1973) reports about an experiment at the U.S. Air Force Academy Preparatory School. One hundred airmen were randomly assigned to five different math classes. Each teacher was told that his or her students were placed in groups based on high or low ability when in reality the airmen were randomly assigned to each group. The outcome showed that students in classes labeled “high-ability” improved much more in math scores than those labeled as “low-ability.” Remember, the groups...
