Question 1

A fair die is rolled twice. What is the probability of rolling a two on the first roll and a three on the second? Are these events independent?

💡 Hint: Use the independence formula for joint probabilities.

Question 2

If X and Y are independent random variables with P(X=1) = 0.2 and P(Y=1) = 0.5, what is P(X=1, Y=1)? Are they independent?
