  1. Multiplication Rule for "AND"
    A coin is tossed, and then a die is rolled.
    What is the probability that the coin shows a head and the die shows a 4?
    1. Independent Events VS. Dependent Events
      1. One card is drawn from a standard deck of 52 cards and is not replaced. A second card is then drawn.
        Consider the following events:
        A = {the 1st1^{st} card is an ace}
        B = {the 2nd2^{nd} card is an ace}
        Determine:
        ⋅\cdot P(A)
        ⋅\cdot P(B)
        ⋅\cdot Are events A, B dependent or independent?
        ⋅\cdot P(A and B), using both the tree diagram and formula

    2. Bag A contains 2 red balls and 3 green balls. Bag B contains 1 red ball and 4 green balls.
      A fair die is rolled: if a 1 or 2 comes up, a ball is randomly selected from Bag A;
      if a 3, 4, 5, or 6 comes up, a ball is randomly selected from Bag B.
      1. What is the probability of selecting a green ball from Bag A?
      2. What is the probability of selecting a green ball?
