Question 388854: 1. An indecisive bride is having trouble deciding on a location for her reception. Her future mother-in-law suggests writing the names of the seven possible locations on little sheets of paper and drawing the winner out of a hat. If each location has only one sheet of paper, what are the chances that the Hilton Hotel will be the site of the reception?
2. Jamie would like to hang 19 of her favorite photographs on a wall in her dorm room, but she has room for only 9. One of the pictures is a picture of her grandmother. If Jamie makes her selections at random, what are the chances that she will pick the picture of her grandmother?
