We know that the probability of Taylor Swift dying her hair bright pink is .50. Given that she has dyed her hair pink there is a 40% chance that she is complaining about an ex-boyfriend.    a.) Write down the information given in terms of the probabilities of event C (Taylor Swift dyes her hair pink) and event D (she is complaining about an ex-boyfriend).   b.) What is the probability that Taylor Swift is not complaining about an ex-boyfriend and she dyed her hair pink (hint: think about using the conditional probability you’re given here)?   c.)What is the probability that Taylor Swift is not complaining about an ex-boyfriend and she did not dye her hair pink (hint: can you use independence here)?
