Should the Republican Congressional Committee return campaign contributions from Disgraced Rep. Mark Foley?

A congressional committee of 3 is to be chosen from a set of 5 democrats, 3 republican and 4 independents?

We Answered:

You have three cases to handle, with party distributions of (2, 1, 0), (1, 2, 0), and (1, 1, 1). Compute them separately, and then add the results.

2C5 * 1C3 * 0C4
1C5 * 2C3 * 0C4
1C5 * 1C3 * 1C4
Add those together, and you have your answer. Of course, anything with a leading 0 is simply 1; anything with a leading 1 is simply the following number, so the math is relatively simple. Also, 2C3 = 1C3, leaving only 2C5 needing any non-trivial computation.

Why would a dishonest CEO of a small co. contribute $60,000 to the National Republican Congressional Committee?

We Answered:

60k isn't much of an insurance policy. It's not enough to even be noticed by anyone high enough up to make a difference.

Lots of companies/business people contribute to the DNC and the RNC. Don't read too much into it.

Maybe the Republicans have better credit than you do.

I still get solicitations in the mail to loan me money, and at pretty good terms. There is still credit available.
