a. What is the probability that the first song is a country song? b. If the first song is a country song, docs that affect the probability that the second song is a country song? Explain your thinking. c. As songs are playing, the number of songs left to play decreases. Therefore, the probability of playing each of the remaining songs depends on which songs have played before it. This is an example of events that are not independent. If Renae has already listened to “Don't Call Me Mama", “Carefree and Blue", and "Smashing Lollipops", what is the probability that one of the singers of the fourth song will be Sapphire? Explain your reasoning.
Addition Rule of Probability
It simply refers to the likelihood of an event taking place whenever the occurrence of an event is uncertain. The probability of a single event can be calculated by dividing the number of successful trials of that event by the total number of trials.
Expected Value
When a large number of trials are performed for any random variable ‘X’, the predicted result is most likely the mean of all the outcomes for the random variable and it is known as expected value also known as expectation. The expected value, also known as the expectation, is denoted by: E(X).
Probability Distributions
Understanding probability is necessary to know the probability distributions. In statistics, probability is how the uncertainty of an event is measured. This event can be anything. The most common examples include tossing a coin, rolling a die, or choosing a card. Each of these events has multiple possibilities. Every such possibility is measured with the help of probability. To be more precise, the probability is used for calculating the occurrence of events that may or may not happen. Probability does not give sure results. Unless the probability of any event is 1, the different outcomes may or may not happen in real life, regardless of how less or how more their probability is.
Basic Probability
The simple definition of probability it is a chance of the occurrence of an event. It is defined in numerical form and the probability value is between 0 to 1. The probability value 0 indicates that there is no chance of that event occurring and the probability value 1 indicates that the event will occur. Sum of the probability value must be 1. The probability value is never a negative number. If it happens, then recheck the calculation.

d. To get home, Renae can take one of four buses: #41, #28, #55, or #81. Once she is on a bus, she will
randomly select one of the following equally likely activities: listening to her music player, writing a letter,
or reading a book. Her choice of bus and her choice of entertainment are independent events, because the
bus that Renae takes does not affect which activity she chooses. For example, what is the probability that
Renae writes a letter if she takes the #41 bus? What is the probability that Renae writes a letter if she takes
the #55 bus?](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fc721e748-fc0b-4625-84c2-8f763d67067c%2Fbc489a6f-a9e3-4dc4-90b8-13b0486f03c0%2Fwpa9rr_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
