One coin is tossed twice. We know that all results in the sample space S are equipotent. The probability of Y ni S = {(Y, T), (Y, Y), (T, T), (T, Y)} is 1/4. Find the conditional probability of (Y, Y) if the following probabilities are known. a) If the result of the first shot is Y b) If it is known that the result of at least one shot is Y.

An ordinary (fair) coin is tossed 3 times. Outcomes are thus triples of "heads" (h) and "tails" (t) which we write hth, ttt, etc. For each outcome, let N be the random variable counting the number of tails in each outcome. For example, if the outcome is tth, then N (tth)=2. Suppose that the random variable X is defined in terms of N as follows: X=N²-2N-2. The values of X are given in the table below.
