[Part1_Item2-3] Consider the previous problem (photo below), are getting a fresh egg and getting a chicken egg independent events? Support your answer.

 

Peter went shopping for dinner. The vendor “accidentally" mixed all the chicken and duck eggs.
Suppose that it is known that the probability of getting a chicken egg is 12/29, that of a fresh egg is
15/29, and that of a fresh chicken egg is 8/29. If Peter will select an egg at random, what is the
probability that she will get:
a. a fresh egg given that it is a chicken egg?
b. a chicken egg given that it is not fresh?
