ok i typing the choices now
OpenStudy (anonymous):
A. 3/4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
B. 1/4
OpenStudy (mathmate):
Hints:
When the problem is P("at least...")
most of the time you can solve it quickly by 1-P("not even...")
So solving probability of at least once head is the same as solving
1-Prob.(not even one head).
Yes, 3/4 is correct.!

OpenStudy (anonymous):
I'm gonna say B
OpenStudy (mathmate):
Sorry, B is not the one.
When it says P(pink given 30-39) it means P(pink|30-39) which is a conditional probability.

Conditional probability
P(A given B)=P(A}B)=P(A\(\cap\) B)/P(B)
can you work that out?
OpenStudy (mathmate):
* P(A|B) instead of P(A}B)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh so d
OpenStudy (mathmate):
Yes, well done!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im thinking that because i actually rolled the dice and did it
