About a red and a blue die are thrown. both dice are fair. the events a, b, and c are defined as follows: a: the sum on the two dice is even b: the sum on the two dice is at least 10 c: the red die comes up 5 (a) calculate the probability of each individual event. that is, calculate p(a), p(b), and p(c). (b) what is p(a|c)?

Solution:

The probability of an event is given as:

In throwing one die, the total number of outcomes = 6 { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 , 6}

First let us calculate p(A):

The event is defined as: The sum on the two dice is even

Sum on two dice is even if and only if either both dice turn up odd or both even.

The odd outcomes in thowing a single die = 3 {1, 3, 5}

The even outcomes in throwing a single die = 3 {2, 4, 6}

The probability that both turn up odd is:

Similarly, the probability that both turn up even is:

probability that the sum on two dice is even = probability that both turn up odd  + probability that both turn up even

Thus

Let us calculate p(B):

The event B is defined as: The sum on the two dice is at least 10

The total possible outcomes of two die is given as:

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

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

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

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

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

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

Since each individual die can turn up any of the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 the event "sum of the two dice will be at least 10" is :

atleast 10 means that sum can be 10 or greater than 10

{(4,6), (6,4), (5,5), (5,6), (6,5), (6,6)}

Here favourable outcomes = 6

Total number of outcomes = 36

Hence, the probability that the sum of the two dice will be at least 10 is:

Thus

Let us calculate p(C):

The event C is defined as: The red die comes up 5

Favourable outcomes = {(1,5),(2,5),(3,5),(4,5),(5,5),(6,5)}

Thus

B) What is p(A l C)
