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
