consider the following wheel.
-----------------
1 & 8 is blue, 3 & 10 is yellow, 2,4,9,11 & 12 is purple and 5,6 &7 is red
If the wheel is spun and each section is equally likely to stop under the pointer, determine the probability that the pointer lands on
an even number, given that the color is red.
----
P(the pointer lands on an even number| given that the color is red)
---
= P(even and red)/P(red)
---
= (1/12)/(3/12)
---
= 1/3
