Ok, here it is:

A solution of CaF2 has [Ca++] = 3.1 x 10^-4 and [F-] = 1.5 x 10^-3. If PbI2 has Ksp = 3.9 x 10^-11, then will a precipitate form in the solution?

I know that it sounds like that's not all to the question, but it is. This one truly has me stumped. Does anyone know the answer?

The question is incomplete, the conc of CaF2 will have no effect on PbI2.

yes. check your solubility guide lines and you'll see that PbXy, where X=halogen and y is the charge of Pb, PbXy is actually insoluble and will therefore form a precipitate. it's a trick question.
