Question

Transcribed Image Text:5.
A red and a blue die are thrown. Both dice are fair (that is, all sides are equally likely).
The events A, B, and C are defined as follows:
A: The number on the blue die is 1.
B: The sum of the numbers on the two dice is less than 4.
C: The sum of the numbers on the two dice is even.
а.
Calculate the probability of each individual event; that is, p(A), p(B), and p(C).
b.
What is p(B|A)?
с.
What is p(C|A)?
d.
What is p(C|B)?
е.
Consider all pairs of events: A and B, A and C, and B and C. Which pairs of
events are independent and which pairs of events are not independent? Justify your
answer.
