If the first roll is a 4, the possibilities to add less than 8 are that the second cube roll is 1, 2 or 3.

These are 3 different events out of 6 possilbe ones, which is 3 / 6 = 1 / 2; i.e. half of times.

Then the answer is the first option: 1 / 2

Answer:  The correct option is (a) one over two.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Jack rolls a number cube twice. We are to find the probability that the sum of the 2 rolls is less than 8 given that he first roll is a 4.

A cube rolls 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. So, the sample space will be

S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.

That is, n(S) = 6.

Since the first roll is a 4, so the options for the second roll are 1, 2 and 3 so that the sum is less than 8.

Therefore, if 'A' is the event that the sum is less than 4, then

A = {1, 2, 3}.

That is, n(A) = 3.

So, the probability of happening of event A is given by

P(A)=\dfrac{n(A)}{n(S)}=\dfrac{3}{6}=\dfrac{1}{2}.

Thus, the required probability is one over half.

Option (a) is correct.
