Example Fiona has two shirts and three pairs of pants that she
can wear to her co-op placement. Suppose Richards randomly picks a
shirt and a pair of pants. Identify the sample space. Fiona does
not like to wear blue and green together, nor does she like orange
and red together. What is the probability that she will pick a
shirt and pants combo that she does not like? Fiona wants to
decrease the probability of drawing a combination a combo she does
not like. If Fiona buys another pairs or pants what color should
she choose?

Battleships Battleship is a game in which two opponents use a
co-ordinate grid to try and guess the location of each others ship.
Suppose a location is chosen at random, what is the probability of
hitting a ship on first guess? What is the probability of a miss on
the first guess?

Hockey A hockey analyst gives the Canadian women's hockey team
a 75% probability of winning the gold medal in the next winter
Olympics. Based on this prediction, what are the odds in favour of
Canada winning Olympics gold? A local sports journalist estimates
that the high school boys soccer team has a 40% probability of
going to the OFSAA championship tournament. What are the odds
against the boys making OFSAA?
