### Problem 1

Each of the letters A through J are printed on tiles that are placed in a hat. Andre selects a tile at random and then replaces it. Clare then selects a tile at random.

1. What is the probability that Andre selects a tile labeled B?
2. What is the probability that Clare selects a tile labeled B?
3. What is the probability that both Andre and Clare select a tile labeled B?
4. Are the events of Andre selecting a tile and Clare selecting a tile dependent or independent? Explain your reasoning.

### Problem 4

The table displays the number and type of tickets bought for a baseball tournament held on a Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday 27 41
Sunday 14 29

The addition rule states that given events A and B, $$P(\text{A or B}) = P(\text{A}) + P(\text{B}) - P(\text{A and B})$$. Show how to apply the addition rule for the events “a child ticket is bought for a baseball tournament” and “the day of the tournament is Sunday.”
