Out of a pack of ten cards numbered 1 to 10, a boy draws a card at random and keeps it back. Then a girl draws a card at random from the same pack. If the boy's card reads m, and the girl's card reads n, then what is the probability that m>n, given that m is even?

An unbiased die is thrown twice. Let the event A be 'odd number on the first throw' and B the event 'odd number on the second throw'. Check the independence of the events A and B.

A box contains four blue balls and three green balls. Judith and Gilles play a game with each taking it in turn to take a ball from the box, without replacement. The first player to take a green ball is the winner. Judith plays first. Find the probability that she wins. The game is now changed so that the ball chosen is replaced after each turn. Judith still plays first. Determine whether the probability of Judith winning has changed.
