A black and red dice are rolled. Find the conditional probability of obtaining a sum greater than 9, given that the black die resulted in a 5 |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :If the event that the "blacl die is resulted in 5" is given then the possible ELEMENTARY cases under consideration are reduced to (5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6). Out of these 6 cases only two cases are favourable to the event that sum of the number rolled is greater than 9. therefore Required probability =2/6=1/3. |
