Question 2
A and B are two events such that and find the probability of the following events:
The question does not say the events are independent so we calculate first.

Question 3
Urn A contains 9 cubes of which 4 are red. Urn B contains 5 cubes of which 2 are red. A cube is drawn at random and in succession from each urn.a. Draw a tree diagram representing this process.b. Find the probability that both cubes are red.c. Find the probability that only 1 cube is red.d. If only 1 cube is red, find the probability that it came from urn A.

Question 4
A box contains 5 red, 3 black and 2 white cubes. A cube is randomly drawn and its colour noted. The cube is then replaced, together with 2 more of the same colour. A second cube is then drawn.a. Find the probability that the first cube selected is red.b. Find the probability that the second cube is black.c. Given that the first cube selected was red, what is the probability that the second cube selected is black?

Question 5
A fair coin, a double-headed coin and a double-tailed coin are placed in a bag. A coin is randomly selected. The coin is then tossed.a. Draw a tree diagram showing the possible outcomes.b. Find the probability that the coin lands with a tail showing uppermost.c. In fact, the coin falls “heads”, find the probability that it is the “double-headed” coin.
