Solve probability word problems involving compound events

A compound event describes the probabilistic outcomes from two or more events. Some compound events do not affect each other's outcomes, such as throwing a die and tossing a coin. Other compound events do affect each other's outputs. For example, if you take two cards from a deck of playing cards, the likelihood of second card having a certain quality is altered by the fact that the first card has already been removed from the deck.

You can select from either (or both) dependent or independent events for this exercise.

Public Beta Preview

This website is currently in the late stages of its development, a state referred to as beta. As with all beta software, it has some quirks and many parts are not yet available. We are working hard to finalize the system's structure, and roughly once every two weeks we roll out new functionality towards this goal. Until then you may notice that some resources move or even disappear for a while.
