Using the concept of probability, what will be the solution and answer #2

1. A coin is tossed twice. Let A=event the 1* toss is head, and B=event
the 2nd toss is head. Find P(B/A).
2. A coin is tossed twice. Let A=event with exactly 2 heads, and
B=event at least one head appears. Find P(B/A').
3. An ENGDATA class for engineers consists of 5 industrial, 10
electronics, 12 mechanical, 10 electrical, and 8 civil engineering
students. If a person is randomly selected by the instructor to answer
a question, find the probability that the student chosen is:
a. a civil engineering student
b. an electronics engineering student
c. a mechanical or electrical engineering student
4. Four fair coins are tossed. Find the probability of getting the
following:
a. exactly 3 heads
b. at least 2 tails
c. at most 3 heads
5. The probability that a regularly scheduled flight departs on time is
P(D) = 0.83, the probability that it arrives on time is P(A) = 0.82; and
the probability that it departs and arrives on time is P(DA) = 0.78.
Find the probability that a plane:
a. arrives on time given that it departed on time
b. departed on time given that it has arrived on time
