Pimlico Race track:
1.) If you buy 1 Single ticket what is the probability that a single ticket will win a race? (pick a horse 1-8).
P(one ticket wins) = 1/8
-------------------------------
2.) What is the probability that a double ticket will win a race. (pick horse
5-2 and they have to win in order horse #5 first place horse #2 second place).
---------------
If 8 horses run in each race there are 8*7 different pair combinations
P(you pick the correct pair combination) = 1/56
================
