- A random number generator selects two integers from 1 to 30. What is the probability that both numbers are less than 12?arrow_forwardThe conditional probability of E given that F occurs is P(EF)=___________. So in rolling a die the conditional probability of the event E, getting a six, given that the event F, getting an even number, has occurred is P(EF)=___________.arrow_forward
