2. (15 points) A theater seats 50 people in 10 rows of 5 seats each. If 10 groups of friends, each with 5 people, attend a movie in this theater a) in how many ways can they sit so that each group occupies 1 row?

b) If all 50 people are assigned seats randomly, what is the probability that each row will contain 1 of the 10 groups?

4. (10 points) Suppose 100 people ate breakfast at the campus IHOP yesterday. Suppose further that all of the pancakes ordered were buttermilk, blueberry or chocolate chip. a) If each person ate exactly one pancake, and 35 buttermilk, 45 chocolate chip and 20 blueberry pancakes were ordered, in how many distinguishable ways could the pancakes have been served?

b) If 50 customers were chosen at random, what is the probability that exactly 3 had blueberry pancakes?

5. (8 points) A coin is weighted so that the probability of getting heads is 0.6. If this coin is flipped 50 times, what is the probability of getting tails at least 12 but fewer than 15 times?
