It is known that bowl A₁ contains three red and seven blue chips and bowl A₂ contains eight red and two blue chips. All chips are identical in size and shape. A die is cast and bowl A₁ is selected if five or six spots show on the side that is up; otherwise, bowl A2 is selected. The selected bowl is handed to another person and one chip is taken at random. Suppose that this chip is red, an event which we denote by B. Find the probability of A₁ being selected and the probability of A2 being selected given that the chip is red (P(A₁ |B), P(A₂|B))

Assume you have a typical fair 6-sided die. That is to say, it has sides 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and each side has probability of 1/6 of occurring. You are to roll the die twice, and record the maximum, M, of the two 6 rolls. If you roll a 2 and a 3 (or a 3 and a 2), then M = 3. If you roll a 4 and a 4, then M = 4. The rolls are independent of each other. a. Derive the probability table for M. That is to say P(M = m) for m=1,2,3,4,5,6. b. Find the expected value of M, E(M)
Remember that the box contains 4 bulbs of 40W, five of 60W and six of 75W. If two bulbs are chosen at random and at least one of them is found to be 75W. The probability that they are both 75W is:

Two unbalanced dice are thrown at the same time. The first die has the property that the probability of getting a side of 1 and 6 is three times the other side. While the second dice has the property that the probability of the appearance of the sides of the eye 3 and 4 is three times the probability of the other side. If X represents the appearance of the side of the first die and Y represents the appearance of the side of the second die. a. Find the joint probability mass function, P(x,y) b.
