An urn contains 5 red and 7 blue balls. Suppose that 2 balls are selected at random and with replacement. Let A and B be the events that the first and the second balls re red respectively. a)Is event A and event B independent? Show your reasoning. b)If we do the same experiment without replacement, is event A and event B independent? Show your reasoning.

Suppose that there is a white urn containing three white balls and one red ball and there is a red urn containing two white balls and four red balls. An experiment consists of selecting at random a ball from the white urn and then (without replacing the first ball) selecting at random a ball from the urn having the color of the first ball. Find the probability that the second ball is red.
Three six-sided dice are in an urn: one fair die and two trick dice. One of the trick dice always lands on either 2, 4, or 6, with equal probability, while the other trick die always lands on 1, 3, or 5, with equal probability. 9. You draw one die at random and roll it. What is the probability that you drew the fair die, given that the roll is at least 4?
An experiment consists of rolling a fair die twice. Let A be the event that in the second roll the die lands 1, 2, or 5; B be the event that in the second roll the die lands 4, 5, or 6; and C be the event that the sum of the two outcomes from the two rolls is 9. Please choose the correct answer:

An urn has 3 red, 4 white, and 3 blue balls in an urn and two are drawn one after another without replacement. What is the probability that the two balls are both red given that they are the same color?
Suppose we have 15 cans of soup with no labels, but 6 are tomato and 9 are pea soup. We randomly pick 8 cans and open them. Find the probability 3 are tomato.
There are three containers, A, B and C. Each container contains 25 balls, which are either red or blue. Container A has 15 red balls, container B has 16 red balls, and container C has 12 red balls. In a random experiment, one first randomly chooses a container, and then a ball is drawn from the chosen container. The probability of choosing container B in step 1 is 2/5 . The experiment is designed so that the events “the ball drawn is red” and “the ball drawn comes from container A” are independent. Suppose that the ball drawn is red. What is the probability that it came from container C?
2 dice, one green and one black, are rolled once. Which of the following events are independent?A. E = A 2 is rolled on the green die, F = A sum of 8 is rolled on both dice.B. E = A sum of 3 is rolled on both dice, F = A 4 is rolled on the black die.C. E = A 2 is rolled on the green die, F = A sum of 7 is rolled on both dice.D. E = A 3 is rolled on the green die, F = A 5 is rolled on the black die.

Suppose that there is a white urn containing two white balls and three red balls and there is a red urn containing one white ball and two red balls. An experiment consists of selecting at random a ball from the white urn and then (without replacing the first ball) selecting at random a ball from the urn having the color of the first ball. Find the probability that the second ball is red. The probability of the second ball being red is?
. A swimmer, Sarah, hopes to compete in an upcoming meet. There are 8 team members eligible for the breaststroke event at the meet, but only 1 team member will be randomly selected to compete in that event. There are 4 team members eligible for the butterfly event at the meet, but only 1 team member will be randomly selected to compete in that event. Sarah is eligible to compete in both events. What is her chance of being selected for at least one of the two events? Select one: a. 1 in 4 b. 1 in 8 c. 3 in 8 d. 3 in 12
If two events are mutually exclusive why is P(A and B)=0?
