                        11. The numbers 1 to 12 are placed in a hat, and a number is selected.
                            What is the probability that the number is 4 given that it is known to
                            be an even number?

                        12. Three coins are tossed; what is the probability of getting 3 heads if it
                            is known that at least two heads were obtained?
