(a) Find an example in the news of a situation involving probability where you can identify at least two different events. Include a screenshot or a link for the news story and discuss briefly whether it is reasonable to assume independence for the events involved. (b) You roll a fair six-sided die. If the die shows a prime number then you toss a fair coin that number of times. If the die shows a non-prime number, you do not toss the coin at all What is the probability that you see at least two Heads?
