Each year is either a leap year (i.e., it includes February 29) or not. How many different calendars are possible for a year? Explain briefly. \vspace*{1.5in} 2.~A box contains $n$ balls, of which $r$ are red ($r$ and $n$ are both positive integers, and $r \le n$; suppose further that $n$ is even). Consider what happens when the balls are drawn from the box one at a time, at random \textbf{without replacement}. Determine \begin{itemize} \item[(a)] the probability that the first ball drawn will be red; \item[(b)] the probability that the $\left( \frac{ n }{ 2 } \right)$th ball drawn will be red; and \item[(c)] the probability that the last ball drawn will be red. \end{itemize} Explain briefly in each case. \textit{Hint:} Imagine that the $n$ balls are randomly ordered in a list, and then drawn in that order, which is equivalent to sampling at random without replacement. \textit{Further Hint:} When choosing a sample $( Y_1, Y_2 )$ of size 2 at random without replacement from the population $\{ 1, 2, 9 \}$ in class recently, what was the relationship between $P ( Y_1 = 9 )$ and $P ( Y_2 = 9 )$? \end{document}
