Simulating a conditional probability using R. Simulating the conditional probability P(A|B) requires repeated simulation of the underlying random experiment, but restricting to trials in which B occurs. Suppose 3 dice are tossed and we want to find the probability of the first die is 4 given that the sum is 10. Modify the script ConditionalDice.R (you can find the R script file from Modules on this Canvas site) to find P(First die is 4 | Sum is 10) Hint: the...
