A fair six-sided die is rolled twice. Let X be the number showing on the first roll and A be the event "at least one odd number is rolled". Find (a) The probability P(A) of the event A, (b) The probability that the first number rolled is a 2, given that at least one odd number is rolled (this is the conditional probability P({X = 2}|A)), (c) The probability mass function of X given that at least one odd number is rolled (this is the pmf of X conditional on A), (d) The average value of this distribution, which is the conditional expectation E(X|A).
