Sinistral
33)
Pr(Z<0.5)=1-Pr(Z>0.5)
              =1-Pr(X>0.5,Y>0.5)  Since if min of 2 is greater than a no. then the other will also be greater than that no.
              =1-Pr(X>0.5)Pr(Y>0.5)  X and Y are independent
              = 1-(1/2)(1/2)
              =0.75

34)
Pr(Z<.5|X=.75) = Pr(Y<.5|X=.75) because if X is the minimum then it will be Pr(X<.5|X=.75) which is not possible and will lead to zero so only the other possibility
                      =Pr(Y<.5)P(X=.75)    X and Y are independent
                      =(1/2)(1)
                      =.5
