uppose that you throw a fair six-sided die (with an equal probability of getting numbers 1 through 6), and consider two events: (i) the number on the top is an odd number (O = {1, 3, 5}) and (ii) the number on the top is three or smaller (S = {1, 2, 3}). What is P(O ∩ S), i.e. the probability that the two events happen simultaneously?

Suppose two dice, one blue and one red, are rolled and the outcomes of each are recorded. We define the following two events: A: sum of the roll is 9 B. the result of the blue die is a number greater than 3 Are the two events, A and B, independent events? A. Yes B. No
Two players, A and B, alternately and independently flip a coin for a game. The game has up to a total of 5 flips and the first player to obtain a head wins. Assume player A flips first. The coin is unfair with P(head) = 2/3. Find the probability that player A wins

The probability of a student succeeding in statistics is 0.6, the probability of him succeeding in anatomy is 0.2, and the probability of him succeeding in statistics when he has succeeded in anatomy is 0.7, so the probability of him succeeding in anatomy if he succeeds in statistics is: * O 0.24 O 0.23 O 0.26
At a local college, four sections of economics are taught during the day and two sections are taught at night. 65 percent of the day sections are taught by full-time faculty. 15percent of the evening sections are taught by full-time faculty. If Jane has a part-time teacher for her economics course, what is the probability that she is taking a night class? The probability that she is taking a night class is nothing. (Type an integer or a fraction.)
Let A and B be two events with P(A and Bc) = 1. Find P(B). Recall that Bc denotes the complement of the event B.
