I roll a fair die twice and obtain two numbers X1= result of the first roll and X2= result of the second roll. Given that I know

X1+X2=7, what is the probability that X1=4 or X2=4?

By definition of conditional probability,

P(X_1=4\text{ or }X_2=4\mid X_1+X_2=7)=\dfrac{P((X_1=4\text{ or }X_2=4)\text{ and }X_1+X_2=7)}{P(X_1+X_2=7)}

=\dfrac{P((X_1=4\text{ and }X_1+X_2=7)\text{ or }(X_2=4\text{ and }X_1+X_2=7))}{P(X_1+X_2=7)}

Assuming a standard 6-sided fair die,

  • if X_1=4, then X_1+X_2=7 means X_2=3; otherwise,
  • if X_2=4, then X_1=3.

Both outcomes are mutually exclusive with probability \frac1{36} each, hence total probability \frac2{36}=\frac1{18}.

Of the 36 possible outcomes, there are 6 ways to sum the integers 1-6 to get 7:

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

and so a sum of 7 occurs \frac6{36}=\frac16 of the time.

Then the probability we want is

P(X_1=4\text{ or }X_2=4\mid X_1+X_2=7)=\dfrac{\frac1{18}}{\frac16}=\frac13

Work out the volume of this prism?
qaws [65]

Answer:

V = 300 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume (V) of the prism is calculated as

V = Ah ( A is the area of the base and h the height )

Here A = 15 and h = 20 , then

V = 15 × 20 = 300 cm³
