Answer

a. 0.632 b. 0.140 c. 0.0031 d. 0.624

Work Step by Step

a. P(not medium and not medium) = $\frac{16}{20} * \frac{15}{19}$ = 0.632 b. P(first medium is third) = $\frac{16}{20} * \frac{15}{19} * \frac{4}{18}$ = 0.140 c. P(extra large and extra large and extra large and extra large) = $\frac{6}{20} * \frac{5}{19} * \frac{4}{18} * \frac{3}{17}$ = 0.0031 d. P(at least one medium in four) = 1 - P(not medium and not medium and not medium and not medium) = 1 - ($\frac{16}{20} * \frac{15}{19} * \frac{14}{18} * \frac{13}{17}$) = 1 - 0.376 = 0.624
