Irvane plays a game in two phases. In phase one, Irvane rolls a fair die, denoting m as the number the die shows. What Irvane does in phase two depends on the value of the m, Irvane will only do one of the following: - If m = 4 or m = 6, then Irvane rolls (independently) another fair die, denotes n as the number this die shows. - If m 4 and m 6, then Irvane flips (independently) a fair coin. Irvane wins this game if either she flipped the coin, and the coin showed "Head" or she rolled two fair die and the numbers satisfy m = 2n. (a) [5 pts] Calculate the probability that Irvane wins this game. (b) [5 pts] Knowing that Irvane won the game, calculate the proba- bility that the first die roll in phase one showed m = 4. You are NOT required to describe the probability space for this question, however you still need to justify your answers.
