Monty Hall & Probability Practice

This document contains practice questions on conditional probability and examples involving staff drinking preferences at a school and colored discs in a bag. There are 3 questions - the first involves creating a Venn diagram and calculating probabilities based on the number of staff drinking tea and coffee. The second asks to represent drawing discs from a bag containing red and green discs using a tree diagram and calculate related probabilities. The third continues the disc example and asks to calculate additional conditional probabilities.
