Given the upcoming NBA (professional basketball) draft, there are several players available with skills at different positions (e.g., point guard) and with or without college experience. The table below summarizes these data. (Use the data below for this question only) College Experience (CE) No College Experience (NCE) Point Guard (PG) 39 10 Shooting Guard (SG) 24 39 Center (C) 16 19 Small Forward (SF) 15 19 Power Forward (PF) 18 22 Find the following probability: p(C and NCE) (If necessary, round answer to 4 decimal places)

A starting lineup in basketball consists of two guards, two forwards, and a center. (a) A certain college team has on its roster four centers, four guards, five forwards, and one individual (X) who can play either guard or forward. How many different starting lineups can be created? [Hint: Consider lineups without X, then lineups with X as guard, then lineups with X as forward.] (b) Now suppose the roster has 3 guards, 5 forwards, 3 centers, and 2 "swing players" (X and Y) who can play either guard or forward. If 5 of the 13 players are randomly selected, what is the probability that they constitute a legitimate starting lineup? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

8. (8 pts) A starting lineup in basketball consists of 2 guards, 2 forwards, and 1 center. (a) A certain college team has on its roster 5 guards, 4 forwards, 3 centers. How many different starting lineups can be created? (b) Suppose that Mary is listed on the roster as a forward, and Alice is listed on the roster as a center. Assume that, for a given starting lineup, all players are randomly chosen for each role among qualified players on the roster (guards are chose among guards only, etc.). What is the probability that Mary and Alice will get on the lineup?
