Answer 8

this is the question that was right before it 3. Before leaving, Walt gets news that his competition may try to attack him. He decides
to arm himself with lots of weapons before he leaves. Walt goes to his local arms dealer
and randomly buys 5 weapons from a total of 7 guns and 5 rocket launchers. What is
the probability that Walt buys only 2 guns? that answer was 648

Answer 9

Ah, randomly buys 7 *weapons* that still includes the 5 rocket launchers.
There are a total of 12 things to choose from.

Answer 10

That's 5 attempts at a 1/12 chance.
