P -- pepper
N -- without pepper
P(P) = 5/12
P(N) = 7/12
to have at least 2P, you could have 2P or 3P,
Two peppers could be PPN PNP NPP
Prob of that is 3x(5/12)^2(7/12) = .3038
Three peppers = (5/12)^3 = .0723
adding these we get .376
You order twelve burritos to go from a Mexican restaurant, five with hot peppers and seven without. However, the restaurant forgot to label them. If you pick three burritos at random, find the probability that at least two have hot peppers. (Round the answer to three decimal places.)

You order fifteen burritos to go from a Mexican restaurant, eight with hot peppers and seven without. However, the restaurant forgot to label them. If you pick five burritos at random, find the probability of the given event. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
All have hot peppers.
All have hot peppers.
(5C2 x 7C1) + (5C3) / 12C3 = .3636 = .364
