##### Problem 3

Han's soccer team plays a soccer game in the morning. Lin's soccer team plays a soccer game in the afternoon against a different team than Han's soccer team played in the morning. Let A represent the event “Han's soccer team wins the morning game” and B represent the event “Lin's soccer team wins the afternoon game.”

7) Describe the meaning of ﻿$P\text {(B | A)}$﻿.

8) Are A and B independent events?

True or false? Write below.

10) If the events are independent, how are ﻿$P\text{(B | A)}$﻿ and ﻿$P\text{(B)}$﻿ related?
