Please Help me with Math Homework.

1. Based on his skill in basketball, it was computed that when Joe threw a free throw, the odds in favor of his making it were 4 to 28 find the probability that when Joe shot a free throw he made it. Out of every 100 free throws he attempted on the average how many did he miss.

Out of 32, he makes 4 and misses 28. The rest is trivial.

4.A set of data items is normally distributed with a mean of 500. Find the data item in this distribution that corresponds to the given z-score.

5. A teacher and 12 students are to be seated along a bench in the bleachers. In how many ways can this be done if the teacher must be seated in the middle and the one difficult student in the class must sit to the teachers immediate left?

6. An ice chest contains 4 cans of apple juice, 3 cans of grape juice, 9 cans of orange juice and 2 cans of pineapple juice. Suppose that you reach into the container and randomly select three cans in succession. Find the probability of selecting no grape juice.

How many ways can you select three non-grape cans? How many ways can you select three cans of any type?
or
What's the probability that the first can is non-grape? With one fewer non-grape, what's the probability that the second can is non-grape? With two fewer non-grape, what's the probability that the third can is non-grape? Now, should you add or multiply these?
