Correct, SpinLizard.

A man worked for a packaging company. One day, he received four separate orders and accidentally mixed up the addresses; therefore, he applied the address labels at random. What is the probability that exactly three packages were correctly labeled but the fourth is not?
 
None. If you have 3 out of 4 packages correctly labelled, the only label you would have left would be the right one for the 4th package.
 
Correct, drkate.

If I were in Hawaii and dropped a bowling ball in a bucket of water which is 45 degrees F, and dropped another ball of the same weight, mass, and size in a bucket at 30 degrees F, them at the same time, which ball would hit the bottom of the bucket first? Same question, but the location is in Finland?
 
In both cases, the bowling ball will hit the bottom of the 45 F bucket first, just because the freezing point of water in Fahrenheit is 32 degrees, so you would be dropping a bowling ball on ice. Location is irrelevant.
 
You are correct about the location being irrelevent. But the rest of the answer is wrong. The balls will not hit bottom first in the bucket of water at 45 degrees. Do you know why? Gee, I may have finally stumped someone.
 
What ice? What exactly is in the bucket at 30 degrees? Once again, read the question carefully.
 
hits the 30F bucket bottom first because their is nothing in it... there is water in the 45F bucket which will slow down the ball...

'zat right, Dynamo?

BTW, for those of you on the metric system, water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit (or 0 degrees Celsius) You can use Tc = (5/9)*(Tf-32) to convert between the two... <sulks geekishly into a corner>
 
We have a winnnnnnnnner. Correct, SpinLizard.
