Conditional probablility P(A/B) = P(A and B) / P(B). Here, A is sum of two dice being greater than or equal to 9 and B is at least one of the dice showing 6. Number of ways two dice faces can sum up to 9 = (3, 6), (4, 5), (4, 6), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6) = 10 ways. Number of ways that at least one of the dice must show 6 = (1, 6), (2, 6), (3, 6), (4, 6), (5, 6), (6, 6), (6, 5), (6, 4), (6, 3), (6, 2), (6, 1) = 11 ways. Number of ways of rolling a number greater than or equal to 9 and at least one of the dice showing 6 = (3, 6), (4, 6), (5, 6), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6) = 7 ways. Probability of rolling a number greater than or equal to 9 given that at least one of the dice must show a 6 = 7 / 11
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to remember the properties of exponents: multiplication adds the exponents, division subtracts the exponents.
If you multiply two powers with the same base, the result will be the base to the sum of the powers.
If you divide two powers with the same base, the result will be the base to the difference of the powers.
In your case you will this:
That is:
Or:
