Question
The most common form of color blindness is an inability to distinguish red from green. However, this particular form of color
blindness is much more common in men than in women (this is because the genes corresponding to the red and green receptors are
located on the X-chromosome). Approximately 7% of American men and 0.4% of American women are red-green color-blind. Let
CBM and CBW denote the events that a man or a woman is color-blind, respectively.
