Imagine that a single die is tossed. (i) Let A be the event that an odd number came up. Let B be the event that a number less than or equal to 5 came up. Compute P(A|B) and use Bayes' Rule to compute P(B|A). (ii) Now let A be as in part (i) and let B be the event that a number less than or equal to 6 came up. Compute P(A|B) and use Bayes' Rule to compute P(B|A).

In a lottery game, a single ball is drawn at random from a container that contains 25 identical balls numbered from 1 through 25. Use the equation P(AUB)=P(A) + P(B)- P(ANB), where A and B are any events, to compute the probability that the number drawn is prime or greater than 12. The probability that the number drawn is prime or greater than 12 is (Type an integer or a decimal.) (...)
