[b]6.2.[/b] Aaron is throwing balls at Carlson’s face. These balls are infinitely small and hit Carlson’s face at only $1$ point. Carlson has a flat, circular face with a radius of $5$ inches. Carlson’s mouth is a circle of radius $ 1$ inch and is concentric with his face. The probability of a ball hitting any point on Carlson’s face is directly proportional to its distance from the center of Carlson’s face (so when you are $2$ times farther away from the center, the probability of hitting that point is $2$ times as large). If Aaron throws one ball, and it is guaranteed to hit Carlson’s face, what is the probability that it lands in Carlson’s mouth?

[b]7. 1.[/b] A function $f$ is called an “involution” if $f(f(x)) = x$ for all $x$ in the domain of $f$ and the inverse of $f$ exists. Find the total number of involutions $f$ with domain of integers between $ 1$ and $ 8$ inclusive.
[b]7.2.[/b] The function $f(x) = x^3$ is an odd function since each point on $f(x)$ corresponds (through a reflection through the origin) to a point on $f(x)$. For example the point $(-2, -8)$ corresponds to $(2, 8)$. The function $g(x) = x^3 - 3x^2 + 6x - 10$ is a “semi-odd” function, since there is a point $(a, b)$ on the function such that each point on $g(x)$ corresponds to a point on $g(x)$ via a reflection over $(a, b)$. Find $(a, b)$.
[b]7.3.[/b] A permutations of the numbers $1, 2, 3, 4, 5$ is an arrangement of the numbers. For example, $12345$ is one arrangement, and $32541$ is another arrangement. Another way to look at permutations is to see each permutation as a function from $\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}$ to $\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}$. For example, the permutation $23154$ corresponds to the function f with $f(1) = 2$, $f(2) = 3$, $f(3) = 1$, $f(5) = 4$, and $f(4) = 5$, where $f(x)$ is the $x$-th number of the permutation. But the permutation $23154$ has a cycle of length three since $f(1) = 2$, $f(2) = 3$, $f(3) = 1$, and cycles after $3$ applications of $f$ when regarding a set of $3$ distinct numbers in the domain and range. Similarly the permutation $32541$ has a cycle of length three since $f(5) = 1$, $f(1) = 3$, and $f(3) = 5$. In a permutation of the natural numbers between $ 1$ and $2017$ inclusive, find the expected number of cycles
of length $3$.
