Two fair dice are rolled. What is the conditional probability that at least one lands on 6 given that the dice land on different numbers?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The Conditional probability that atleast one dice lands on 6 given that the dice land on different numbers is 16.

Step by step solution

01

Concept and formula of probability.

Given : Tossing of two dice and numbers on both the dice are different.

Conditional Probability: Conditional Probability is the probability of an event occurring after another has occurred.

P(E/F)=P(E∩F)P(F).

Probability of an event =NumberoffavorableoutcomesTotalnumberofoutcomes

02

Calculation of Probability

The tossing of two dice result in 36 outcomes.

Let ' E' be the event that at least one dice lands on 6.

Sample space for events' E' are (1,6),(2,6),(3,6),(4,6),(5,6)&(6,6)

Let Fbe the event that both numbers on the dice are different.

Sample spaces for events are

(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6)(2,1),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6)(3,1),(3,2),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6)(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,5),(4,6)(5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,6)(6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5)

03

Calculation.

P(E/F)=P(Event Ewhen the event Fis given )localid="1648221210413" =P(FnF)P(F).

E∩F=common of event EandF=(1,6),(2,6),(3,6),(4,6)&(5,6). So

P(E∩F)=536,P(F)=3036.

Therefore,

localid="1648563788809" P(E/F)=P(F∩F)P(F)=5363036=536×3630=16

A and B flip coins. A starts and continues flipping

until a tail occurs, at which point B starts flipping and continues

until there is a tail. Then A takes over, and so on.

Let P1 be the probability of the coin landing on heads

when A flips and P2 when B flips. The winner of the game

is the first one to get

(a) 2 heads in a row;

(b) a total of 2 heads;

(c) 3 heads in a row;

(d) a total of 3 heads.

In each case, find the probability that A wins

Each of 2 cabinets identical in appearance has 2 drawers. Cabinet A contains a silver coin in each drawer, and cabinet B contains a silver coin in one of its drawers and a gold coin in the other. A cabinet is randomly selected, one of its drawers is opened, and a silver coin is found. What is the probability that there is a silver coin in the other drawer?

An urn contains 5white and 10black balls. A fair die is rolled and that number of balls is randomly chosen from the urn. What is the probability that all of the balls selected are white? What is the conditional probability that the die landed on 3if all the balls selected are white?

Genes relating to albinism are denoted by A and a. Only those people who receive the a gene from both parents will be albino. Persons having the gene pair A, a are normal in appearance and, because they can pass on the trait to their offspring, are called carriers. Suppose that a normal couple has two children, exactly one of whom is an albino. Suppose that the non albino child mates with a person who is known to be a carrier for albinism.

(a) What is the probability that their first offspring is an albino?

(b) What is the conditional probability that their second offspring is an albino given that their firstborn is not?

A total of 46 percent of the voters in a certain city classify themselves as Independents, whereas 30 percent classify themselves as Liberals and 24 percent say that they are Conservatives. In a recent local election, 35 percent of the Independents, 62 percent of the Liberals, and 58 percent of the Conservatives voted. A voter is chosen at random. Given that this person voted in the local election, what is the probability that he or she is

(a) an Independent?

(b) a Liberal?

(c) a Conservative?

(d) What percent of voters participated in the local election?
