<p><em>Use a fresh answer book for this part. Show all working-out with your answers. Approved graphing calculators may be used.</em></p>
<p>It is 4am on a Friday morning and Eirin has been woken by an SMS from the emergency support line. A colocation customer&#8217;s server is offline, and she needs to visit the datacentre. Due to sleep-deprivation and/or ethanol intoxication, Eirin is unable to find the lightswitch, but needs to throw on some clothes and get there ASAP.</p>
<p>Her wardrobe contains three skirts {black,black,red}, four tops {purple,blue,black,black} and two pairs of comfortable shoes {black heels,black sneakers}. Each piece of clothing is chosen at random.</p>
<ol>
<li>How many distinct outfits does Eirin have available?</li>
<li>What is the probability that Eirin will have a coordinated outfit?</li>
<li>How much easier is it to just pick up whatever&#8217;s lying on the floor from last night?</li>
<li>Will it be faster for her to put her hair in a single french braid, or twintails?</li>
<li>What is the probability that the colocation customer has done something totally silly, like changing their firewall configuration and subsequently looking themselves out in the process?</li>
<li>How much will Anchor charge the customer for this out-of-hours callout?</li>
</ol>
