My instructor sits at the front of the class and reads from the book without any explanation. I am not understanding permutations and combinations as well as probability. I also had surgery and missed a whole two weeks of class.
Would really appreciate some explanation and understanding of this unit. Thanks. College Math II
Here is my assignment:
Out of the book By Lial, Hungerford, Holcomb Mathematics with Applications 9th Edition

38.) During the 1988 college football season, the Big Eight Conference ended the season in a "perfect progression" as shown in the following table. (provided below)
Won | Lost| Team
7 | 0 | Nebraska NU
6 | 1 | Oklahoma (OU)
5 | 2 | Oklahoma State (OSU)
4 | 3 | Colorado (CU)
3 | 4 | Iowa State (ISU)
2 | 5 | Misouri (MU)
1 | 6 | Kansas (KU)
0 | 7 | Kansas State (KSU)
38 continued: Someone wondered what the probability of such an outcome might be.
a. Assuming no ties and assuming that each team had an equally likely probability of the perfect prgression shown in the table.
b. Under the same assumptions, find a general expression for the probability of a perfect progression in an n-team league.

The aforementioned study also found that approximately 5% of children under 18 years of age lived with their father only. Find the probabilities that the following number of persons selected at random from 10 children under 18 years of age in 2003 lived with their father only.
7.) Exactly 2
8.) Exactly 1
9.) None
10.) All
11.) At least 1
12.) At most 2
