# Probability Exercise: Determining Outcomes from a Spinning Wheel

### Exercise 7: The wheel below is spun. Find each probability.

#### Diagram Description:
The diagram shows a wheel divided into eight equal sectors, which are alternately colored black and white. The sectors are labeled with the letters A, B, C, D, and E. The distribution is as follows:
- Black sectors: A, D, B, E
- White sectors: C, A, E, B

#### Questions:
1. **P(black | A)**:
   (Probability of landing on black given that the letter is A)

2. **P(C | white)**:
   (Probability of landing on C given that the color is white)

3. **P(black | B or E)**:
   (Probability of landing on black given that the letter is B or E)

#### Note:
Evaluate each probability based on the given conditions and the distribution of colors and letters on the wheel. Keep in mind that each sector has an equal chance of being landed on, and consider the given letters and corresponding colors.
