Conditional Probability



Julia iMessaged me to ask our phone number because she said Dillan had a question to ask me about Yahtze.  I got all excited because I thought he wanted me to do some probability analysis about dice rolling.  Later that night Dillan phoned and asked me a simple question about the conditional probability of Julia rolling a Yahtze in a game and then him rolling a Yahtze too.  I said that since the rolling of the dice are completely independent conditional probability didn't apply.  I don't think he understood my explanation and I was disappointed it was not a more difficult question that I could do some probability analysis on.  Julia later told me that she had already tried to explain it to him but she also said that I did all her probability and statistics homework when she was in university.
