Multiplying dependent probabilities

Suppose that Mahmoud simultaneously rolls a pair of fair 66-sided dice. Let AA be the event that the first die is 22 or greater and BB be the event that the second die is 11. Use the sample space of possible outcomes below to answer each of the following questions.
What is P(A)P(A), the probability that the first die is 22 or greater?
  • Your answer should be
  • an integer, like 66
  • an exact decimal, like 0.750.75
  • a proper fraction, like 1/21/2 or 6/106/10
  • an improper fraction, like 10/710/7 or 14/814/8
  • a mixed number, like 1 3/41\ 3/4
  • a percent, like 12.34%12.34\%
What is P(B)P(B), the probability that the second die is 11?
  • Your answer should be
  • an integer, like 66
  • an exact decimal, like 0.750.75
  • a proper fraction, like 1/21/2 or 6/106/10
  • an improper fraction, like 10/710/7 or 14/814/8
  • a mixed number, like 1 3/41\ 3/4
  • a percent, like 12.34%12.34\%
What is P(A | B)P(A\text{ | }B), the probability that the first die is 22 or greater, given that the second die is 11?
  • Your answer should be
  • an integer, like 66
  • an exact decimal, like 0.750.75
  • a proper fraction, like 1/21/2 or 6/106/10
  • an improper fraction, like 10/710/7 or 14/814/8
  • a mixed number, like 1 3/41\ 3/4
  • a percent, like 12.34%12.34\%
What is P(B | A)P(B\text{ | }A), the probability that the second die is 11, given that the first die is 22 or greater?
  • Your answer should be
  • an integer, like 66
  • an exact decimal, like 0.750.75
  • a proper fraction, like 1/21/2 or 6/106/10
  • an improper fraction, like 10/710/7 or 14/814/8
  • a mixed number, like 1 3/41\ 3/4
  • a percent, like 12.34%12.34\%
What is P(A and B)P(A\text{ and }B), the probability that the first die is 22 or greater and the second die is 11?
  • Your answer should be
  • an integer, like 66
  • an exact decimal, like 0.750.75
  • a proper fraction, like 1/21/2 or 6/106/10
  • an improper fraction, like 10/710/7 or 14/814/8
  • a mixed number, like 1 3/41\ 3/4
  • a percent, like 12.34%12.34\%
What is P(A)P(B | A)P(A)\cdot P(B\text{ | }A)?
  • Your answer should be
  • an integer, like 66
  • an exact decimal, like 0.750.75
  • a proper fraction, like 1/21/2 or 6/106/10
  • an improper fraction, like 10/710/7 or 14/814/8
  • a mixed number, like 1 3/41\ 3/4
  • a percent, like 12.34%12.34\%
What is P(B)P(A | B)P(B)\cdot P(A\text{ | }B)?
