Please answer correctly and show all your work. Attached is the formula sheet you can use.
An HDMI cable in a lost and found bin is in working condition with probability 0.9, whereas a VGA
cable found in the same bin is in working condition with probability 0.5. The bin currently contains
6 HDMI cables and 4 VGA cables. Two cables are randomly chosen from the bin at once.
(a) What is the probability that both cables work?
(b) Given that both cables work, what is the conditional probability that both are HDMI cables

Axioms of Probability
Also Note:
1. P(S)=1
For any two events A and B,
2. For any event E, 0< P(E) < 1
P(A) = P(AN B) + P(AN B')
3. For any two mutually exclusive events,
and
P(EUF) = P(E)+ P(F)
P(AN B)
P(A|B)P(B).
Events A and B are independent if:
Addition Rule
P(EUF) = P(E)+ P(F) – P(EnF)
P(A|B) = P(A)
or
Conditional Probability
P(AN B) = P(A)P(B).
Р(BJA) —
P(ANB)
P(A)
Bayes' Theorem:
Total Probability Rule
Р(A В)P(В)
Р(А|B)Р(В) + Р(A|B')P(В')
P(A) = P(A|B)P(B)+P(A|B')P(B')
P(B|A)
Similarly,
Similarly,
P(A) =P(A|E1)P(E1) + P(A|E2)P(E2)+
...+ P(A|Ek)P(Ek)
P(B|E1)P(E1)
P(B|E1)P(E1) + P(B|E2)P(E2) + · .+ P(B|ER)P(Ex)
P(E1|B)
