Question

Two number cubes are rolled for two separate events:

Answer 1

Answer:  $\bold{P(B|A)=\dfrac{P(B\cap A)}{P(A)}=\dfrac{11}{30}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of Event B given Event A = the intersection of Event A and B divided by the probability of Event A. (see below for the symbols)

$P(B|A)=\dfrac{P(B\cap A)}{P(A)}$

P(A) = (1, 6), (1, 5), (1, 4), (1, 3), (1, 2), (1, 1)

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

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

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

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

                                        (6, 3), (6, 2), (6, 1)

       = 30

P(B) = (1, 2), (2, 1)                                   sum = 3

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

          (3, 6), (4, 5), (5, 4), (5, 4), (6, 3)  sum = 9

          (6, 6)                                           sum = 12

                       

      = 12

P(A ∩ B) =  (1, 2), (2, 1)

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

                  (3, 6), (4, 5), (5, 4), (5, 4), (6, 3)

             = 11
