                                     6. A bag contains a red bead, a green bead, and a blue bead. If a bead is
                                        selected and its color noted, and then it is replaced and another bead
                                        is selected, the probability that both beads will be of the same color is
                                            1

                                     7. A card is selected at random from an ordinary deck of 52 cards. The
                                        probability that the 7 of diamonds is selected is
                                            1

                                     8. A card is selected at random from a deck of 52 cards. The probability
                                        that it is a 7 is
