Suppose that your friend Kamala randomly chooses a number between 1 and 13 (including both 1 and 13) and decides to tell you that the number she is thinking of is odd. Given that the number is odd, calculate the conditional probabilities below: 1. What is the probability she is thinking of an even number? 2. What is the probability the number she is thinking of has a 1 in it? 3. What is the probability that the number she is thinking of is at least 5?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Solution :

Sample space ( s ) = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 }

A : No. is odd

P (A) = 713

Let,

B : No. is even 

B(s) = { 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 }

C : No. has 1 in it

C (s) = { 1, 10, 11, 12, 13 }

D : No. is at least 5

D(s) = { 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 }
