If anyone could explain how the following is done, it would be greatly appreciated!

Suppose that there is a tennis tournament with 32 players. Players are matched in a completely random manner, and we assume that each player always has probability 1/2 of winning a match. What is the probability that two given players meet each other during the tournament?

(Not a homework question, incidentally.)

I have an ancestor who was in his late 20s in 1861, lived in Alabama where his family owned 6 slaves (i.e. not Union sympathizers) though they weren't rich or politically connected, and from his photograph he appears to have been able-bodied. There is no evidence he served during the Civil War in the army or in the Home Guard. He married in 1862 and had 2 children born during the war, also indicating he was at home and not in the field. He was not an only child or the sole support of anybody at the beginning of the war.
No tales survive of him through his descendants; I only know his name through genealogical research.
Any idea how he would have avoided service? (I know that northern men could legally pay other men (usually $300-$500 and usually Irish immigrants) to take their place, but this doesn't seem to have been an option for Confederates.)

Thanks for any good suggestions.

Why is the easter bunny not real or Ghosts or aliens or santa claus? Why is your religion right and all others wrong? Why do people have to know christ to get to heaven and there are people in this world that do not know that name? Are they damned because the word Christ is not in their vocaublary?

Deuteronomy 25:11-12
If two men, a man and his countryman, are struggling together, and the wife of one comes near to deliver her husband from the hand of the one who is striking him, and puts out her hand and seizes his genitals, then you shall cut off her hand; you shall not show pity.

A group insurance policy might be less expensive
than an individual policy. Probably cap the maximun
yearly payout at $3000. per employee irregardless
of the number of pets a person has. Maybe add a $20.
co-pay per vet. visit.

I am aware that drunks have caused deaths on the roads, but I am also aware that more deaths are caused by people who are sober or unlicensed.

This has always been the case.

Thoughts?

A womena nd a baby were in the dr.s examining room, waitung for the baby's first exam.

The Dr. arrived and examined the baby, checkinghis weight, and being a little concerned, asked if the baby was breast fed or bottle fed?

Breast Fed, she replied

Well, strip down to your waist, the dr ordered.

She did. He pinched her nipples, pressed and neaded and rubbed both breasts for a while in a very professional and detailed examination.

Motioning her to get dressed, the dr said "no wonder this baby is underweight. You don't have any milk?

I know she said, I'm his grandma--but I'm so glad I came !!!!

I have never had a baby, nor am I pregnant, but when I do have a baby, I cannot imagine putting myself through all that pain.
Why would someone deliberately put themselves through all that pain when they can have the baby without pain?
I am just curious to know.
Thanks!

This is the most pathetic record selling ploy i've seen. Making pretend rivals so that people will have to choose and buy. Can't they just make the fugging music and get over themselves?
