One more for this assignment.

Quote:
Refer to the article entitled [name removed] in your Supplemental References booklet. Find the value for the percent of Penn State students that said they consumed more alcohol than usual on their 21st birthday. Convert this percent to a proportion. A random sample of three Penn State students who recently turned 21 was obtained from the Penn State population. Set up the calculation for the probability that first and the third Penn State student consumed more alcohol than usual on their 21st birthday while Penn State Student 2 did not consume more alcohol than usual on their 21st birthday. Remember, the order of the values is important.
Slightly less than half – 47%
Proportion - .47

I know I'm missing figures for the second question. What type of figures do I need? I also think the proportion is incorrect.
