A train is late with probability (misses appointment with probability ) and is on time with probability (misses appointment with probability ). Calculate the total probability that Minnie misses her dentist appointment.
A bag contains 3 red balls and 2 blue balls. Two balls are drawn at random one after another without replacement. Let be the event that the first ball is red and be the event that the second ball is red. Calculate .
Given that and , where is the complement of , and , calculate the value of .
True or False: The general multiplication rule applies only if the events and are dependent.
For two events and , , , and . Calculate the conditional probability .
