Question
In the game Mastermind, one player guesses a four-color code (represented by pegs). There are 9 colors to
choose from. The order of the colors matters, and let's say the code has four unique colors. Define the events
Y, B, and R as follows:
Y: The third peg is yellow.
B: The first peg or the third peg is blue.
R: The code contains a red peg and white peg consecutively (in that order).

a Calculate the probability of each event: p(B), p(R), and p(Y)
b What is p(BY)?
c What is p(BIR)?
d What is p(R/Y)?
e Consider all pairs of events: (B,Y). (B, R), and (R,Y). Which pairs are events are independent and
which pairs are not independent? Justify your answers using one of the independence tests we learned.
