• Finding the conditional probability that a prisoner will be executed.

  This is a conditional probability question. The unconditional probability of Matthew to be executed is obviously 2/3, and the unconditional probability of Matthew NOT to be executed is 1/3. Because there's no addtional information.

• Discrete Distributions: Chips Being Red

  Since P(X=0)=(5/6)^2=0.6944, the conditional probability is bigger. This is not unusual, as the conditional probability is always greater than or equal to the corresponding prior probability.
