if 3 persons selected at random, are stopped on a street, what are the probabilities that
1. all were born on monday.
Ans: (1/7)^3 = 1/343
------------------------
2. two were born on a monday and other on tuesday
P(2monday and one tuesday) = P(2monday)*P(onetuesday)
= [3C2(1/7)^2*(1/7)]
= 3(1/7)^3 * 3(1/7)^3
= 9/343
