The conditional probability, in a single roll of two fair 6 sided dice, that the sum is greater than 6, given that neither die is a two : 17/25

We know that the conditional probability is given by,

P(B | A) = probability of occurrence of event B, given that event A has

               occurred

           = P(A ∩ B) / P(A)

Here, P(A ∩ B)  means the probability of happening two events A and B at the same time.

We also know that  if  P (B | A ) = P(B)   i.e.,   P(A ∩ B) = P(A) × P(B)  the two events A and B are independent of each other.

For this question, let the dice D1 and D2 are rolled once.  

Let the numbers displayed on the dice be d1 and d2 respectively.  

The dice D1 and D2 are independent.

We need to find the conditional probability that the sum is greater than 6, given that neither die is a two.

Let S represents the sum of the numbers displayed on the dice.

S = d1 + d2

The sum is even, if d1 = d2 is odd OR  if d1 = d2 is even

P(d1 = even) = 3/6

                    =1/2

P(d2=even) = 1/2

P(d1 = odd) = 1/2

P(d2 = odd) = 1/2

So, P(S = even) = [P(d1=even) × P(d2 = even)] + [P(d1= odd) × P(d2=odd)]

                          = [1/2 × 1/2] + [1/2 × 1/2]

                          = 1/2

So, we can say that, the sum is either even or odd which are equally likely and hence its probability is 1/2.

First we find the probability for the sum is greater than 6 i.e., P(S > 6)

The possible combination of d1 and d2 for the sum greater than 6 would be,

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

⇒ n(S > 6) = 21

The number of all possible outcomes = 36

So, P(S > 6) = 21/36

                   = 7/12

Now we find the probability that neither die is a two

⇒ P(neither die is a two) = [P(1) ∪ P(3 ≤ d1 ≤ 6)]  AND  [P(1) ∪ P(3 ≤ d1 ≤ 6)]

⇒ P(neither die is a two) = 5/6 × 5/6

⇒ P(neither die is a two) = 25/36

Now, we find the probability that the sum S > 6 AND  neither die is a two.

The possible combination for  the sum S > 6 AND  neither die is a two would be,

{(1,6), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6), (4,3), (4,4), (4,5), (4,6), (5,3), (5,4), (5,5), (5,6), (6,1), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5), (6,6)}

⇒ n(S > 6 AND neither die is a two) = 17

So, P(S > 6 AND neither die is a two) = 17/36

Now we find the conditional probability P(S > 6 | neither die is a two)

⇒ P(S > 6 | neither die is a two) = P(S > 6 AND neither die is a two) ÷

                                                           (neither die is a two)

⇒ P(S > 6 | neither die is a two) = (17/36) / (25/36)

⇒ P(S > 6 | neither die is a two) = 17/25

Therefore, the conditional probability, in a single roll of two fair 6 sided dice, that the sum is greater than 6, given that neither die is a two : 17/25

Artemon [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, a mouse covered a distance of 3/24 miles over a distance of 3 hours. Each hour, the mouse traveled the same distance. Distance traveled in 1 hour can be calculated by dividing 3/24 miles by 3. So,

d=\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{24}}{3}\\\\d=\dfrac{3}{24}\times \dfrac{1}{3}\\\\d=\dfrac{1}{24}\ \text{hours}

Matt calculations shows that the distance is 3/8 hours. While dividing 3/24 by 3, he doesn't take reciprocal of 3 as a result he get 9 on numerator and 24 on denominator. Simplified fraction of 9/24 is 3/8. But the correct answer should be 1/24 hours.

A recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups of flour, 3/4 cup of white sugar, and 1/8 cup of brown sugar.
NeTakaya

Answer:

(a) 2 3/8 cups

(b) 3-cup

Step-by-step explanation:

1 1/2 + 3/4 + 1/8

The common denominator is 8

1 4/8 + 6/8 + 1/8 = 1 11/8 = 2 3/8 cups

I choose 3-cup mixing bowl since it fits 2 3/8 cups ingredients.

Using the order of operations, what would be the first step:<br><br> 4−8÷1−3[3+(7−5)2]
jeka94

Answer:

(7-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to PEMDAS, parenthesis go first. But there are two sets of parenthesis so the one inside the other goes first.

Next would be [3+(2*2)]

Then, [3+4]

Then, -8/1

Then, -3(7)

So the question would be 4-8-21

Which gives you -25 as an answer.

I realize that you weren't asking for the whole thing but maybe there are follow up questions.
