A.   0.512
B.   0.421
C.   0.471
D.   0.453
Question #2
In a certain high school, the probability that a student drops out is 0.1, and the probability that a dropout gets a high-school equivalency diploma (GED) is 0.25. What is the probability that a randomly selected student gets a GED?
A.   0.045
B.   0.052
C.   0.025
D.   0.125
Question #3

A.   700
B.   710
C.   270
D.   720

A.   40000
B.   42504
C.   41524

Question #5
At the campus cafeteria, a diner can purchase a "meal deal" that consists of an entrée, a side dish, and a dessert. There are 4 choices for the entrée, 6 choices for the side dish, and 6 choices for dessert. How many different meal deals are possible?
A.   96
B.   122
C.   204

Question #6
A committee consists of 10 women and 7 men. Three members are chosen as officers. What is the probability that all three officers are women? Round your answer to 4 decimal places.
A.   0.1575.
B.   0.1756
C.   0.1765
D.   0.1675
Question #7
Human genetic material (DNA) is made up of sequences of the molecules adenosine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T), which are called bases. A codon is a sequence of three bases. Replicates are allowed, so AAA, CGC, and so forth are codons. Codons are important because each codon causes a different amino acid to be included in a protein. How many different codons are there?
A.   64
B.   62
C.   60
D.   58
Question #8
Human genetic material (DNA) is made up of sequences of the molecules adenosine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T), which are called bases. A codon is a sequence of three bases. Replicates are allowed, so AAA, CGC, and so forth are codons. Codons are important because each codon causes a different amino acid to be included in a protein. How many different codons are there in which all three bases are different?
A.   48
B.   24
C.   16
D.   12
Question #9
Human genetic material (DNA) is made up of sequences of the molecules adenosine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T), which are called bases. A codon is a sequence of three bases. Replicates are allowed, so AAA, CGC, and so forth are codons. Codons are important because each codon causes a different amino acid to be included in a protein. The bases A and G are called purines, while C and T are called pyrimidines. How many different codons are there in which the third base is a purine and the others are pyrimidines?
A.   16
B.   4
C.   6
D.   8
Question #10
Human genetic material (DNA) is made up of sequences of the molecules adenosine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T), which are called bases. A codon is a sequence of three bases. Replicates are allowed, so AAA, CGC, and so forth are codons. Codons are important because each codon causes a different amino acid to be included in a protein. What is the probability that all three bases are different? Write your answer in decimal form.
A.   0.275
B.   0.475
C.   0.375
D.   0.575
Question #11
Human genetic material (DNA) is made up of sequences of the molecules adenosine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T), which are called bases. A codon is a sequence of three bases. Replicates are allowed, so AAA, CGC, and so forth are codons. Codons are important because each codon causes a different amino acid to be included in a protein. What is the probability that the third base is a purine and the others are pyrimidines? Write your answer in decimal form.
A.   0.125
B.   0.135
C.   0.145
D.   0.0025
