Suppose $X_i$ for $i=1, 2, 3$ are independent and identically distributed random variables whose probability mass functions are $Pr[X_i = 0] = Pr[X_i = 1] = \frac{1} {2} \text{ for } i = 1, 2, 3$. Define another random variable $Y = X_1X_2 \oplus X_3$, where $\oplus$ denotes XOR. Then $Pr[Y=0 \mid X_3 = 0] =$______.

Two hosts are connected via a packet switch with $10^7$ bits per second links. Each link has a propagation delay of $20$ microseconds.
