Part (a): Event A is “the total is 10” (i.e., the sum of the results of the two die rolls is 10). (i) Is event A independent of the event “at least one of the die rolls resulted in a 5”?   Part (b): Event B is “the total is 8.” (i) Is event B independent of getting “doubles” (i.e., both dice resulting in the same number)? (ii) Given that the total was 8, what is the probability that at least one of the die rolls resulted in a 3?
