Advika chooses one of three scarves every morning: Red, Blue, or Green.
The probability she chooses Red is $20 \%$.
The probability she chooses Blue is twice the probability of choosing Red.
On the remaining days she wears a Green scarf.
Once a scarf is chosen, she decides whether to wear a Hat (H) and Sunglasses (S).
These choices are independent of each other but depend on the scarf colour:
$$ \begin{array}{|l|l|l|} \hline \text { Scarf colour } & \mathbf{P ( H )} & \mathbf{P ( S )} \\ \hline \text { Red } & 0.5 & 0.8 \\ \hline \text { Blue } & 0.4 & 0.5 \\ \hline \text { Green } & 0.1 & 0.5 \\ \hline \end{array} $$
Advika is spotted outdoors wearing both a Hat and Sunglasses.
What is the probability that she is wearing the Red scarf?
An engineering team is testing a new prototype drone. The drone has constant success rate of $\frac{\mathbf{2}}{\mathbf{7}}$ for every autonomous landing attempt. Two engineers, Sarah and Swarna, take turns initiating the landing sequence, with Swarna going first.
If they continue the process until a landing is successful, what is the probability that Sarah is the one who initiates the successful landing?
