The probability that a certain hockey team will win any given game is 0.3859 based on their 13 year win history of 399 wins out of 1034 games played (as of a certain date). Their schedule for November contains 12 games. Let X = number of games won in November. What is the probability that the hockey team wins 4 games in November? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

You play two games against the same opponent. The probability you win the first game is 0.8. If you win the first game, the probability you also win the second is 0.6. If you lose the first game, the probability that you win the second is 0.4. Complete parts a) through e). a) Are the two games independent? Explain your answer A. Yes; all events are independent. O B. No; the outcome of the first game determines the probability of...
