2. What is the probability of getting a “5” on the second roll when you get a “5” on the first roll?

Questions 1 through 5 involve rolling of dice.
1.      Given a single fair, six-sided die, what is the probability of rolling the die twice and getting a “5” each time?


2.      What is the probability of getting a “5” on the second roll when you get a “5” on the first roll?


3.      Suppose you roll two die at the same time. What is the probability of rolling a sum of “6”?


4.  If you rolled a single die 52 times and recorded the number of times you rolled a 2, how many 2s would you expect to get?

5.  Suppose you roll two die at the same time. What is the probability you roll a “3” on one of the die AND a “4” on the other?

Use the data below to answer Questions 6 through 11.

6. What is the probability a randomly selected passenger is a First class passenger?

7.  What is the probability a passenger is rescued given that the passenger is a Crew member?

8.  What is the probability a passenger is rescued given that the passenger is a First Class passenger?

9. Given that the passenger is rescued, what is the probability that passenger is First OR Second Class?

10. What is the probability that a passenger is Third Class OR Rescued?


11. What is the probability that a passenger is Third Class AND Rescued?

Suppose a dataset of recent college graduate starting salaries is normally distributed with a mean of $45,000 and a standard deviation of $7,000. Use the Empirical Rule to answers questions 12 – 15.
