Suppose that one of these 2026 students is randomly selected. Let F denote the event that the selected individual is a female, and A, B, C, and D represent the events that he or she has blue, brown, green, and hazel eyes, respectively.
a. Calculate both P(F) and P(C).
b. Calculate P(F C). Are the events F and C independent? Why or why not?
c. If the selected individual has green eyes, what is the probability that he or she is a female?
d. If the selected individual is female, what is the probability that she has green eyes?
e. What is the "conditional distribution" of eye color for females (i.e., P(A|F), P(B|F), P(C|F), and P(D|F)), and what is it for males? Compare the two distributions.
