By definition of conditional probability,

P(sum is 5 | sum is not 6) = P(sum is 5 AND sum is not 6) / P(sum is not 6)

There are 4 ways of rolling the dice to get a sum of 5 out of 36 possible outcomes:

(1, 4), (2, 3), (3, 2), (4, 1)

so P(sum is 5) = 4/36 = 1/9.

There are 5 ways of getting a sum of 6 out of 36 possible outcomes:

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

hence 31 ways of *not* getting a sum of 6, so P(sum is not 6) = 31/36.

The sum is 5 and *not* 6 simultaneously for the 4 ways already listed above, so the intersection of these two events is those 4 ways, which means

P(sum is 5 AND sum is not 6) = 1/9

Then

P(sum is 5 | sum is not 6) = (1/9) / (31/36) = 4/31

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

since EG bisects angle DEF

31 = x + 15

31 - 15 = x

x = 16 degree

6x - 4 = 56

6x = 56 + 4

x = 60/6

x = 10

There is 5/6 of an apple pie left from dinner. Tomorrow, Victor plans to eat 1/6 of the pie that was left. How much of the whole
Lady_Fox [76]
5/6 = 83% 
1/6= 16%

83% of the apple pie was left from dinner. 
Victor is gonna eat 16% of the pie tomorrow 
You have to subtract 16% from 83%
In other words 5/6-1/6


The denominators are same so you don't have to do anything to them  
5/6 - 1/6 

5-1=4

4/6 of the pie would be left 
In simplest form it would be 

4/6     <span> ÷2</span>
=2/3

2/3 is in simplest form
