A biased coin, twice as likely to come up as tails, is tossed once. If it shows heads a chip is drawn from an urn I which contains 3 white chips and 4 red chips; if it shows tails a chip is drawn form urn II, which contains 6 white chips and 3 red chips. Given that a white chip is drawn, what is the probability that the coin came up tails. a)7/16. b) 7/9. c)32/63

2 Lily had to roll a fair, six-sided cube to determine how many times she would be able to move during a game. Then, she had to spin a spinner that was divided into four equal, colored pieces-orange, purple, blue, and green. If she landed on the same cobr as she spun, she got to move two extra spaces. What is the probability that Lily will roll a number greater than I and have the spinner land on purple? Samuel went to a sandwich shop and chose to build his own.
