    justin, conditional probability question
    1) in a soccer game, if the total is under 2.5 goals, what is the probability of total goals to be even?

    2) in the same game, if the total is over 2.5 goals, what is the probability of total goals to be even?

    for question #1, the only possible outcomes are 0-0, 1-0, 2-0, 0-1, 1-1, 0-2

    only 2 are odd total and 4 are even total. so the probability for question #1 should be 4/6 = 67%?

      i assume the probability for question #2 is less than 50% because 2-1, and 1-2 are pretty common. just wondering if it is higher than 33%
