A family that owns two cars is selected at random. Let A1 = {the older car is a SUV} and A2={the newer car is a SUV} be two events. If it is assumed that P(A1) = 1/3, P(A2)
= 1/4 and
P(A1 n A2) = 1/12, compute:
(a) the probability that at least one car is a SUV;
(b) the probability that none of the cars are a SUV;
(c) The probability that the older car is a SUV given that the newer car is a SUV:
(d) The probability that the newer car is a SUV given that the older car is not a SUV.
