We know that $B$ and $B'$ are disjoint. That is, $B sect B' =
emptyset$. Additionally,
$
E = (A sect B) subset B \
F = (A sect B') subset B' \
$
Then we note
$
forall x in E, x in B, x in.not B' \
forall y in F, y in B, y in.not B'
$
So clearly $E$ and $F$ have no common elements, and
$
E sect F = emptyset

+ The sample space is every value of the die (1-6) paired with heads and paired with tails. That is, ${1,2,3,4,5,6} times {H,T}$, with cardinality 12.
+ There are $12^10$ outcomes.
+ If no participants roll a 5, then we omit any outcome in our sample space where the die outcome is 5, leaving us with 10 outcomes of the die and coin. Now we have $10^10$ outcomes. If at least 1 person rolls a 5, then we note that this is simply the complement of the previous result. So we have $12^10 - 10^10$ outcomes total.

The sample space can be represented as a 6-tuple where the position 1-6
represents balls numbered 1-6, and the value represents the square it
was sent to. So it's
$ {{x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4,x_5,x_6} : x_i in {1,2,3,4}}, i = 1,...6 $

-1. We should probably write this more explicitly as ${1,2,3,4}^6$.

+ #[
When the balls are indistinguishable, we can instead represent it as
4-tuples where the position represents the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th square,
and the value represents how many balls landed. Additionally the sum of all
the elements must be 6.
$ {{x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4} : x_i >= 0, i = 1,...,6 sum_(j=1)^4 x_j = 6} $

We want to determine how many ways to choose 8 people from 27 people, or $vec(27,8) = 2220075$.
]
+ #[
This is the same as the choosing 4 of the 12 men and 4 of the 15 women, and pairing each group of men with each group of women once. So,
$ vec(12,4) times vec(15, 4) = 675675 $
]
+ #[
First we determine the amount of ways to choose less than 2 women.
$ vec(15, 0) vec(12, 8) + vec(15, 1) times vec(12,7) $
Then the total amount of ways to choose 8 people, from part a, is $vec(27,8)$.
Then the chance of forming a committee with less than 2 women is
$ (vec(15, 0) vec(12, 8) + vec(15, 1) vec(12,7)) / vec(27,8) $
So our final answer is
$ 1 - (vec(15, 0) vec(12, 8) + vec(15, 1) vec(12,7)) / vec(27,8) $

These are all correct, but need to be divided by $vec(52,5)$ for the final probability. Oops...

First we choose two ranks for our two pairs. Then we choose 2 suits for the
first pair and 2 suits for the second pair. Then we choose 1 card from the
remaining 44 cards that aren't of the same rank as the first four.

First we choose a rank for our three of a kind. Then we choose 3 suits
for the cards in our three of a kind. Then we choose a rank for our 4th
card and a rank for our 5th card. Then we choose a suit for our 4th
card and a suit for our 5th card.
$ 13 dot vec(4, 3) dot 12 dot 11 dot 4^3 $

+ #[
There are 10 unordered ways to have the 5-card sequence, disregarding
the suits. To pick suits, we can simply pick 1 of 4 suits for the 5
cards, then subtract the number of ways that we pick all 5 suits to be
the same. That is $4^5 - 4$, since there are exactly 4 ways we can
choose all 5 of our cards to be the same suit.
$ 10 dot (4^5 - 4) = 10200 $
]
+ #[
We can simply choose 5 cards from the 13 per rank, multiply by the 4 suits, and then substract the amount of ways we can get a straight (which is 10).

We compute how many ways there are to not choose 3 and take the complement.
$ (9 P 4) / (10 P 4) = 40% $

First we choose 4 distinct numbers from 10 and there is exactly one way
to list them in increasing order.
$ vec(10,4) / (10 P 4) = 1 / 24 $

First we enumerate all of the ways 4 numbers can add up to 13.
$ 2 dot 4! = 8 / 35 $
#correction[
-2. Correct way: directly find the how many outcomes sum to 13
$ {{1,2,3,7},{1,2,4,6},{1,3,4,5}} $
So the answer is simply these 3 outcomes divided by total ways to choose 4 numbers from 10:
$ 3 / vec(10,4) approx 0.0143 $

We choose the 9 non-aces from the 48 remaining cards for player 1, then
we choose the rest accordingly.

Same as all the permutations. $10!$

Treat the five letters $B A C O N$ as a single block to move around. Then our permutations go down to $6!$.

From these observations we note that $p_n = p_0 - n d$. Then
$
p_1 = p_0 - d \
p_0 + p_1 = 0.4 \
2 p_0 - d = 0.4
$
Also, we know the probabilities sum to 1, which gives us an equation
$
sum_(n=0)^5 p_n = 6 p_0 - (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5) d = 6 p_0 - 15d = 1 \
p_0 = (1 + 15d) / 6
$
Then we solve the equations simultaneously to obtain
$
(1+15d) / 3 - d = 0.4 \
d = 0.2 / 12 = 1 / 60
$
Now we can compute $p_0$,
$
p_0 = 5 / 24
$
Then we can compute the answer, which is $p_4 + p_5$.
$
p_4 &= p_0 - 4 / 60 \
p_5 &= p_4 - 1 / 60 \
p_4 + p_5 &= 2(5 / 24 - 4 / 60) - 1 / 60 \
= 16 / 60 &= 4 / 15
