The probability that the stock market goes up Monday is 0.6; given that it went up on Monday, the probability that it goes up on Tuesday is 0.3; and, finally, given that it went up on Monday and Tuesday, the probability that it goes up on Wednesday is 0.4. Find the probability that a) the stock market goes up on all three days, b) the stock market goes up on Monday and Tuesday, but not on Wednesday.

Q1. Some couples planning a new family would prefer at least one child of each sex. The probability that a couple’s first child is a boy is 0.512. In the absence of technological intervention, the probability that their second child is a boy is independent of the sex of their first child, and so remains 0.512. Imagine that you are helping a new couple with their planning. If the couple plans to have only two children: What is the probability that at least one girl is born?
