Assume you have applied for two scholarships, a Merit scholarship (M) and an Athletic scholarship (A). The probability that you receive an Athletic scholarship is 0.18. The probability of receiving both scholarships is 0.11. The probability of getting at least one of the scholarships is 0.3.

a.	What is the probability that you will receive a Merit scholarship? Hint: P(M∪A) = P(M) + P(A) – P(M∩B)
b.	Are events A and M mutually exclusive? Why or why not? Explain.
c.	Are the two events A, and M, independent? Explain, using probabilities.
d.	What is the probability of receiving the Athletic scholarship given that you have been awarded the Merit scholarship? Hint: P(A\|M) = P(A∩M)/P(M)
e.	What is the probability of receiving the Merit scholarship given that you have been awarded the Athletic scholarship? Hint: P(M\|A) = P(M∩A)/P(A)

Assume you have successfully made a buffer solution, such that you have 0.250 M phosphate buffer at pH 7.2. You dissolve in this solution sufficient histidine (side chain pKa = 6.0), such that the final histidine concentration is 5 mM, all at 25°C. Therefore, the pH of the solution is controlled by the phosphate buffer. In this solution, what is the percent of histidine with a protonated side chain? What is the total charge on molecules in this fraction? Explain.
