Suppose that there is a class of n students. Homework is to be returned to students, but the students’ homework assignments have been shuffled and are distributed at random to students. a) Calculate the probability that you get your own homework back. (I think it is 1/n) b) Suppose that I tell you that another student, Betty, got her own homework. Does this change the probability that you get your own homework, and if so what is the new probability?...
