You roll a fair six-sided die twice. Let A be the event that the first roll is odd, B be the event that you roll at least one “six”, and C be the event that the sum of the rolls is seven. (a) Are the events A and B independent? (b) Are the events A, B, and C mutually independent? (c) Are the events A and B conditionally independent given C?

Determine the number of outcomes in the event. Decide whether the event is a simple event or not. A computer is used to select randomly a number between 1 and 9, inclusive. Event C is selecting a number less than 2. Event C has= outcome(s). Is the event a simple event? Choose A or B or C ▼ (A)Yes, (B) No, because event C has ▼ (A)exactly (B)fewer than (C)more than one outcome.
