Exercise 1. Two dice are rolled. Consider the events A = {sum of two dice equals 3}, B = {sum of two dice equals 7 }, and C = {at least one of the dice shows a 1}.

(a) What is P(A | C)?

(b) What is P(B | C)?

(c) Are A and C independent? What about B and C?

 

Exercise 2. Suppose you roll two standard, fair, 6-sided dice. What is the probability that the sum is at least 9 given that you rolled at least one 6?

Exercise 3.  Color blindness is a sex-linked condition, and 5% of men and 0.25% of women are color blind. The population of the United States is 51% female. What is the probability that a color-blind American is a man?
