If a family had three kids, named Alice, Bob, and Carl. Assume that each is equally likely to be born; I.E., 1/3 chance for each of them to be born first etc.

a) Find the probability that Alice is older than Bob, given that Alice is older than Carl.
b) Is event ā€œAlice is older than Bobā€ independent from event ā€œAlice is older than Carlā€?
