Question

3. consider rolling a single die. we get the number d of the die. (10 points) a. if i tell you the number is less than 4 (d < 4), what is the probability for the number to be even (d is even)? (5 points)

Answer 1

The probability of getting an even number, knowing that the number is less than 4, in the rolling of a single die is 1/3.

The probability of an event = The number of favorable outcomes to the event/The total number of possible outcomes.

In the question, we are asked to find the probability of getting an even number, considering rolling a single die, where we get the number d of the die, and the number is less than 4 (d < 4).

For the number d, the total number of possible outcomes, given d is less than 4 in the rolling of a single die is 3 {viz. 1, 2, and 3}.

For the event of getting an even number, from all the possible outcomes, the number of favorable outcomes is 1 {viz. 2}.

Thus, the probability of getting an even number, knowing that the number is less than 4, in the rolling of a single die is 1/3.
