Question 873044: A 6-faced die is rolled two times. Let A be the event that the outcome of the first roll is greater than 4.
Let B be the event that the outcome of second roll is an odd number.

1. What is the probability that the outcome of the second roll is an odd number, given that the first roll is greater than 4?

2. Are A and B independent? Why or why not?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1) P(B/A) = P(A and B) /P(A) = (1/4)/(1/2) = 1/2
2) Yes , because P(A and B) = P(A)P(B) = 1/4
