In a certain town, only males are surveyed. A study showed that 35% of all males have blond hair, and 14% of all males have blond hair and blue eyes. If a male is selected at random, what is the probability that he has blue eyes given that he has blond hair?

P(blue eyes | blond hair) = 0.14 / 0.35 = 0.40

A machine needs 2 of its gears replaced. You find 2 gears, one manufactured 5 years ago and the other manufactured 10 years ago. The specifications sheet says that the chance of failure is 5% after 5 years and increases to 8% after 10 years. If the gears on the machine are in no way linked to each other, what are the chances that both will fail?
