                                     7. If three people are randomly selected, find the probability that they
                                        will all have birthdays in June.

                                     8. In a sample of 10 telephones, 4 are defective. If 3 are selected
                                        at random and tested, what is the probability that all will be non-
                                        defective?

                                     9. A bag contains 4 blue marbles and 5 red marbles. If 2 marbles are
                                        selected at random without replacement, what is the probability that
                                        both will be blue?
