06:21"According to Bayes’ Theorem, the probability of event A , given that event B has occurred, is
P(A|B) = P(A) * P(B|A)P(A) * P(B|A) + P(A') * P(B|A').
In Exercises 33–38, use Bayes’ Theorem to find P(A|B).
35. P(A) = 0.25, P(A') = 0.75, P(B|A) = 0.3 , and P(B|A') = 0.5 "
1. When two events are mutually exclusive, why is P(A and B) = 0?
Cards In Exercises 59-62, you are dealt a hand of five cards from a standard deck of 52 playing cards.
62. Find the probability of being dealt three of a kind (the other two cards are different from each other).
Classifying Events Based on Studies In Exercises 15-18, identify the two events described in the study. Do the results indicate that the events are independent or dependent? Explain your reasoning.
