    CONDITIONAL PROBABILITY

    1. A die is rolled. If the outcome is an odd number, find the probability that it is a prime.
    2. A pair of dice is thrown. Find the probability of getting 7 as the sum, if it is known that the second die always
    exhibits a prime number.
    3. Two dice are thrown. Find the probability that sum of the numbers coming up on them is 9, if it is known that the
    number 5 always occurs on the first die.
    4. Two coins are tossed. What is the chance of coming up of two heads, if it is known that at least one head comes
    up?
    5. A pair of dice is thrown. Find the probability of getting the sum 8 or more, if 4 appears on the first die.
    6. A card is drawn at random from a pack of 52 cards. What is the chance that it is a king, if it is known that the red
    card is drawn.
    7. A pair of dice is thrown. Find the probability of getting 7 as the sum, if it is known that the second die always
    exhibits an odd number.
    8. Two dice are thrown. Find the probability that the numbers appeared has the sum 8, if it is known that the
    second die always exhibits 4.
    9. A dice is thrown twice and the sum of the numbers appearing is observed to be 6. What is the conditional
    probability that the number 4 has appeared at least once?
    10. To test the quality of electric bulbs produced in a factory, two bulbs are randomly selected from a large sample
    without replacement. If either bulb is defective, the entire lot is rejected. Suppose a sample of 200 bulbs contains 5
    defective bulbs. Find the probability that the sample will be rejected.
    11. A bag contains 10 white and 15 black balls. Two balls are drawn in succession without replacement. What is the
    probability that the first ball is white and the second is black?
    12. Find the probability of drawing a diamond card in each of the two consecutive draws from a well-shuffled pack
    of cards, if the card drawn is not replaced after the first draw.
    13. A bag contains 5 white, 7 red and 8 black balls. If four balls are drawn one by one without replacement, find the
    probability of getting all white balls.
    14. Two integers are selected at random from integers 1 through 11. If the sum is even, find the probability that
    both the numbers are odd.
